Objective. Some mothers have difficulty initiating lactation even when highly motivated to breastfeed. The purpose of this study was determine the incidence and risk factors for suboptimal infant breastfeeding behavior (SIBB), delayed onset lactation, excess neonatal weight loss among mother-infant pairs in a population with high educational levels motivation Methods. All residing Davis, California, who gave birth healthy, single, term at 1 5 area hospitals during 10-month recruitment period...
Diarrhoea and growth faltering in early childhood are associated with subsequent adverse outcomes. We aimed to assess whether water quality, sanitation, handwashing interventions alone or combined nutrition reduced diarrhoea faltering.The WASH Benefits Bangladesh cluster-randomised trial enrolled pregnant women from villages rural evaluated outcomes at 1-year 2-years' follow-up. Pregnant geographically adjacent clusters were block-randomised one of seven clusters: chlorinated drinking...
Undernourished children exhibit impaired development of their gut microbiota. Transplanting microbiota from 6- and 18-month-old healthy or undernourished Malawian donors into young germ-free mice that were fed a diet revealed immature infants transmit growth phenotypes. The representation several age-discriminatory taxa in recipient animals correlated with lean body mass gain; liver, muscle, brain metabolism; bone morphology. Mice cohoused shortly after receiving severely stunted underweight...
BackgroundPoor nutrition and exposure to faecal contamination are associated with diarrhoea growth faltering, both of which have long-term consequences for child health. We aimed assess whether water, sanitation, handwashing, interventions reduced or faltering.MethodsThe WASH Benefits cluster-randomised trial enrolled pregnant women from villages in rural Kenya evaluated outcomes at 1 year 2 years follow-up. Geographically-adjacent clusters were block-randomised active control (household...
Anthropometric data were collected monthly from birth to 18 months as part of the Davis Area Research on Lactation, Infant Nutrition and Growth study, which followed infants who either breast-fed or formula-fed during first 12 months. The two cohorts matched for parental socioeconomic status, education, ethnic group, anthropometric characteristics infant sex weight, neither group was given solid foods before 4 While mean weight remained at above National Center Health Statistics median...
Abstract In 2012, the World Health Organization adopted a resolution on maternal, infant and young child nutrition that included global target to reduce by 40% number of stunted under‐five children 2025.

Gut bacterial strains targeted by IgA in undernourished Malawian children produce severe enteropathy gnotobiotic mice and correlate with health status.
Enteric infections are common during the first years of life in low-income countries and contribute to growth faltering with long-term impairment health development. Water quality, sanitation, handwashing nutritional interventions can independently reduce enteric faltering. There is little evidence that directly compares effects these individual combined on diarrhoea when delivered infants young children. The objective WASH Benefits study help fill this knowledge gap.WASH includes two...
