Abstract:

Introduction: Exclusive breastfeeding is feeding a child with only breast milk. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines prelacteal feeding as any fluid given to a child before breastfeeding starts. It affects exclusive breastfeeding, exposes infants to infections, and contributes to infant mortality. WHO recommended that Mothers should be discouraged from giving any food or fluids other than breast milk, unless medically indicated. This study aimed to identify determinants of prelacteal feeding in Maternal and Child Health Clinic. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted

Abstract Objectives Our objective was to assess changes in prelacteal feeding practices in rural Bangladesh over a 15-year period, from ∼2004 to ∼2019, and to identify household, maternal, and infant characteristics associated with that trend. Methods The analysis used data from 21,804 infants enrolled in a cluster-randomized controlled trial of newborn vitamin A supplementation from 2004–2006, and from 4631 infants enrolled in a cluster-randomized controlled trial of a digital health intervention from 2018–2019. In both studies, trained field workers collected data on household socioeconomic

Abstract:

Early breastfeeding (ASI) in the first days of birth provides many benefits where there is colostrum which is proven to be very rich in antibodies which can increase the baby's immunity. Prelacteal food is given to babies in the first days after birth on the grounds that breast milk (ASI) has not been released so that the first days after birth are a vulnerable period for babies to receive prelacteal food/drinks. Prelacteal foods are dangerous because they can replace colostrum as the baby's earliest food. The impact of prelacteal feeding is that babies may get diarrhea, septicemia (bacterial

Background There is suboptimal early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) with widespread prelacteal feeding in Ghana. However, studies exploring the determinants of EIBF and prelacteal feeding are limited in Ghana. The study was conducted to assess the prevalence and determinants of EIBF and prelacteal feeding in Northern Ghana. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted among 508 mothers with infants aged 0–24 months in the Sagnarigu Municipality of Northern Ghana. The quantitative data were collected using a structured questionnaire adapted from Ghana’s demographic and health survey. Mu

Abstract:

Background: Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) during the first six months of life is considered a high impact, but low-cost, measure for improving nutritional status, and reducing morbidity and mortality among children. However, providing prelacteal feed to a newborn, a widely practiced custom in rural India, is a major barrier to the practice of EBF. The present study evaluated the association between provision of prelacteal feeding and continuation of EBF among children up to 3 months age in Bihar, a resource-poor Indian state. Methods: Data from four rounds of a population-based multi-stage sam

Abstract:

Background: Stunting describes the condition of failure to thrive in children under five years old (toddlers) due to chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections, especially in the first 1,000 days of life as a golden period with proper nutrition. This study aimed to examine the effect of prelacteal feeding and vitamin A on the incidence of stunting in children aged 6-59 months using a meta-analysis. Subjects and Method: The meta-analysis was carried out using the PRISMA flowchart and the PICO model. Population: children aged 6-59 months. Intervention: giving prelacteal feeding and vitamin A.
