Abstract:

Temperament of 4-month-old infants of diabetic (n=l6) and nondiabetic (n=l8) mothers did not differ reliably in terms of maternal ratings on the Infant Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ) (Rothbart, 1981). Item analysis indicated that scales on a reduced version of the IBQ maintained high internal reliability. Discrete behaviors, adapted from the Infant Behavior Record (Bayley, 1969), and conceptually related to each scale of the IBQ, were observed by mothers and by a trained observer during the infants' well-child examinations. Group differences for activity level and duration of orienting were obta

Abstract:

Arachidonic acid (AA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and iron are important nutrients for infants and are hypothesized to be compromised in infants of diabetic mothers (IDM). The objective of this study was to compare AA, DHA and iron status in IDM with those measured in infants of non-diabetic mothers born both appropriate for gestational age (AGA) and large for gestational age (LGA); and to determine if infants that have compromised AA and DHA status also have a compromised iron status. Analyses of covariance between AA, DHA and iron revealed that AA in infants was positively correlated with ir

Title: Amylin peptide: An association with feed intolerance in preterm neonates and infants of diabetic mothers Introduction: Delayed enteral nutrition due to feed intolerance is common in preterm infants and infants of mothers whose pregnancy was complicated by diabetes mellitus (IMDM). Amylin, a 37 amino-acid polypeptide hormone, is a potent inhibitor of gastric emptying that may play a role in the patho-physiology of feed intolerance in these infants.

Background: Infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) are at increased risk for the development of obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS) in childhood.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to identify the process of providing care to infants among Oklahoma Cherokee mothers. American Indian infants are one of the most vulnerable populations in the United States, thus making them more vulnerable to the care they receive. American Indian mothers have cultural differences that influence the care they provide to their infants. Given the dearth of knowledge about this process and its significance to the health and well-being of American Indian children and perhaps other children, a qualitative grounded theory method was used to build scientific knowledge

Abstract:

Background: The death of a child has been found to have long term consequences for both individual and family functioning. This is particularly true for bereaved siblings who have been found to be at increased risk of developing mental health difficulties in later life. Literature on parental bereavement proposes that the parenting phenomenon, such as replacement child syndrome, subsequent child syndrome and the parenting paradox, which can emerge after the death of a child, may account for this. However, there is very little research on these labels of observed parenting phenomenon and, as a

Using an adaptation of the learned helplessness paradigm, a relatively equal number of mothers from each group were exposed to an escape, inescape, or control pretreatment condition and subsequently tested on a solvable shuttle box task.

The benefits of breastfeeding are well known. It has been shown that HIV is transmitted through breast milk. The HIV epidemic is threatening exclusive breastfeeding in South Africa. It is important that mothers make the right infant feeding choice. There are three basic infant feeding methods available for HIV infected mothers namely; breastfeeding, replacement feeding or formula feeding and heat treatment of breast milk. There are many risk factors for the transmission of HIV through breast milk. Exclusive breastfeeding may reduce the risk of mother-to-child-transmission, compared with mixed

Therefore, premature birth may affect parental perceptions and attitudes, thereby distorting parent-child interactions and relationship.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship among the number of toys in an infant's play environment, infant's distractibility, and how often a mother teaches her infant during a play session. This study takes samples from videotapes of 12-month old children playing with their mothers during a 5 minute free-play situation. Twenty-two mother and infant pairs were selected for this study based on their previous participation in a language study. The measures used in this study were: (1) the number of maternal teaching utterances to her infant; (2) the total number of utterances

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment, course and outcome of pregnancy in Finland using two cohorts of diabetic women. The clinical cohort consisted of data from all 210 women with Type 1 diabetes and their 296 pregnancies managed between 1986 and 1995 in the two northernmost provinces of Finland. The register-based study population included all 1442 mothers with a singleton birth who had insulin treatment during pregnancy in 1991-1995 according to the Medical Birth Register. Of these mothers, 954 (66%) had pre-existing diabetes. Insulin-treated diabetes complicated

Abstract:

Compared to term infants, it is known that preterm infants have relatively poor regulation and are less able to handle stimulation, which only allows limited time of alertness favorable for productive social interaction. Parents that are less knowledgeable in this would often feel distressed when they try to interact with their babies. Also, non-optimal parent-infant interaction may further stress the preterm infants. So, intervention that seeks to handle this problem is needed. Mother-infant intervention is a strategy that teaches mothers or parents to respond appropriately to infants’ cues

Abstract:

Maternal sleep is problematic for many mothers both during pregnancy as well as postpartum and is highly associated with poor mood. This thesis provides a thorough examination of this problem as well as understanding the best methods for improving sleep and mood for new mothers. A meta-analysis was conducted to provide a quantitative analysis of nine randomised controlled trials investigating sleep-focussed interventions during pregnancy or in the first 12 months postpartum. Results indicated that interventions improve infant total sleep time but not the frequency of night-wakings. Improvemen

Abstract:

The food an infant is fed can reflect many things: a source of nutrition, the social and cultural circumstances into which an infant is born, or even a family’s beliefs about the body and breast milk as a source of nutrition. Exclusive breastfeeding, currently the gold standard for infant feeding in the United States (US), is often identified as an expectation in discourses on being a “good mother.” African American mothers in particular are the least likely group in the US to breastfeed in any capacity and many efforts are underway to increase the breastfeeding rates of this population.
