Abstract:

Pacifiers play a crucial role in infant care and soothing behaviors, and their use has been a subject of extensive research. This literature review aims to synthesize the existing body of knowledge on pacifiers and their impact on various aspects of infant development and well-being. Through an analysis of relevant studies, the review examines the effects of pacifier use on breastfeeding practices, oral health, sleep patterns, and emotional regulation in infants. Additionally, the review explores the potential benefits and risks associated with pacifier usage, considering factors such as age,

Abstract:

Background Pacifier use can interfere with nurturing care practices such as breastfeeding, soothing, and sleeping. Due to contradicting beliefs, recommendations, and the high frequency of pacifier use, understanding its associations may support shaping equitable public health recommendations. This study explored the socio-demographic, maternal, and infant characteristics associated with pacifier use among six-months old infants in Clark County, Nevada. Method Cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2021 with a sample of mothers (n = 276) of infants under six months old in Clark County, Nevada.

Abstract:

A mother’s full-time employment is a determinant factor in abandoning exclusive breastfeeding before 6 months. White-collar workers have a better knowledge, attitude, and practice toward breastfeeding than blue-collar workers. The discontinuation of exclusive breastfeeding is associated with delayed skin-to-skin contact, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit admission, pacifier and artificial teats use, mother’s return to work earlier and lower education levels.

AbstractBackground:It is common for ENT specialists to be called to neonatal intensive care units to assess neonates with suspected laryngomalacia. At Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK, it is standard practice to initially try to assess the larynx whilst the patient is awake. This can cause the patient to cry and become irritable, and can induce worry in the parents. A literature search revealed that numerous procedures have been successfully performed on neonates and infants whilst they were being pacified.Objectives:This paper describes various procedures where pacification has been used

Abstract:

We discuss the pros, cons and potential risks of on-site decontamination methods used on neonatal units for articles indirectly associated with infant feeding, such as breast pump collection kits and neonatal dummies (pacifiers, comforters or soothers). Some practical recommendations are made and areas requiring further review are indicated. For neonatal units, decontamination methods involving use of chlorine-releasing disinfectants or domestic steam-producing equipment should be reassessed. They would not be considered acceptable on intensive care units for adult patients.

Abstract Transversal study conducted in a Human Milk Bank to evaluate the factors associated with the use of artificial nipples (pacifier and/or nursing bottle) among Brazilian infants. Analyses were performed using the χ2 test and logistic regression analysis. A total of 6017 nursing mothers were evaluated and the use of artificial nipples was reported by 31.3%. The chance of using artificial nipples was higher among infants whose mothers attended antenatal care in private hospitals [odds ratio (OR): 1.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.21–2.14], born in maternities without the Baby-Friendly

Abstract:

Selecting products for neonatal skin and wound care is challenging because of the special nature of neonatal skin and the lack of data regarding safety of current skin and wound care products for use in neonates. This is especially challenging in the care of extremely low birth weight infants who have underdeveloped dermis and epidermis.1 This article explores the process of a Level IV Children's Hospital within a multihospital system in the Pacific Northwest, developing a formulary for the NICU on products used for skin, wound, and ostomy care.

Abstract:

The reduction of infant mortality (IM) continues to be a primary goal throughout much of the developing world, and a suite of methods have been proposed with which to achieve it. However, most attempts at IM reduction have taken place within the context of an almost bewilderingly complex regimen of simultaneous changes occurring in the physical environment, sociopolitical structure, and health care. Which of these various elements is truly causal in reducing IM and which may be merely a correlated but nonprimary agent? During the past two decades Mexico has constituted an extraordinary field l

Kangaroo Mother Care involves direct contact between a baby’s bare skin and a caregiver, typically the mother. It has many benefits for both baby and caregiver and is often used to regulate body temperature, promote breastfeeding, enhance growth, and bonding.

Abstract:

Although the importance of anticipatory guidance in the care of children is well recognized, pediatricians devote only about 10% of the average well child visit to parent education. The reluctance to engage more extensively in preventive interventions may relate to the paucity of evidence that such efforts are effective. This study was designed to test whether a modest anticipatory intervention, easily adaptable to other settings, could favorably influence maternal behavior. Mothers of newborn infants in a municipal hospital were assigned in alternate 2-week periods to an intervention program

With investigational drugs for spinal muscular atrophy now in clinical trials, efficient trial design focuses on enrolling recently diagnosed infants, providing best available supportive care, and minimizing subject variation. The quandary has arisen whether it is ethically appropriate to specify a predefined level of nutritional and/or ventilation support for spinal muscular atrophy type I subjects while participating in these studies.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin condition in children. In Asia, the prevalence of AD is increasing, which is largely attributed to environmental and socioeconomic factors including family income, parental education, lifestyle and metropolitan living. Current clinical guidelines recommend a stepped approach in the management of eczema in children, with treatment steps tailored to the severity of the eczema. To address the skin barrier dysfunction, skin hydration and the application of emollients is essential. There is evidence supporting the use of bleach baths as a
