Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food consumption is a significant and complex social activity—and what a society chooses to feed its children reveals much about its tastes and ideas regarding health. In this groundbreaking historical work, Amy Bentley explores how the invention of commercial baby food shaped American notions of infancy and influenced the evolution of parental and pediatric care. Until the late nineteenth century, infants were almost exclusively fed breast milk. But over the course of a few short decades, Americans began feeding their babies formula and solid foods, frequently as early as a few weeks after birth. By the 1950s, commercial baby food had become emblematic of all things modern in postwar America. Little jars of baby food were thought to resolve a multitude of problems in the domestic sphere: they reduced parental anxieties about nutrition and health; they made caretakers feel empowered; and they offered women entering the workforce an irresistible convenience. But these baby food products laden with sugar, salt, and starch also became a gateway to the industrialized diet that blossomed during this period. Today, baby food continues to be shaped by medical, commercial, and parenting trends. Baby food producers now contend with health and nutrition problems as well as the rise of alternative food movements. All of this matters because, as the author suggests, it’s during infancy that American palates become acclimated to tastes and textures, including those of highly processed, minimally nutritious, and calorie-dense industrial food products.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective The purpose of the mixed methods study was to compare barriers and facilitators encountered by low-income African American women who engaged in different infant feeding practices. Methods Using the positive deviance approach and modified Integrated Model as theoretical frameworks, the research began with a qualitative study that informed a survey examining intention, skills, and environmental factors differentiating women's infant feeding practices. Results Twenty-eight and 190 low-income African American adult women participated in focus groups or interviews and a survey, respectively. In the qualitative study, positive deviants, who breastfed for at least four months, seemed to have stronger breastfeeding intentions, self-efficacy and breastfeeding support than other women. In the final multinomial multiple logistic regression, for a one unit increase in the PBC scale of the revised Breastfeeding Attrition Prediction Tool, there was a 50% (OR 1.5[1.3-1.7]) and an 18% (OR 1.18 [1.03-1.3]) increase in the odds of breastfeeding at least three months (positive deviance) compared to only formula-feeding and breastfeeding for less than three months, respectively. Women who did not smoke postpartum were 4.3 [1.5-12.3] and 5.6 [2.1-15.1] times as likely to be positive deviants; women who had C-sections were 3.6 [1.3-9.6] and 2.9 [1.0-7.8] times as likely to be positive deviants compared to only formula-feeding and breastfeeding for less than three months, respectively. Women who ranked WIC full breastfeeding packages as most valuable were 14.9 [4.8-45.5] and 16.1 [5.3-50.0] times as likely to be positive deviants compared to only formula-feeding and breastfeeding for less than three months, respectively. Discussion High breastfeeding self-efficacy was associated with positive deviance, although the qualitative study findings suggested that general self-efficacy may also influence breastfeeding success. The likelihood of not smoking being associated with longer duration of breastfeeding is consistent with previous research. The C-section results may reflect a longer length of hospital stay leading to increased mastery of breastfeeding prior to discharge. Analysis of participants' valuation of WIC infant feeding incentives led to the suggestion that WIC incentives be re-examined. Further exploration of these findings and subsequent interventions may lead to improved breastfeeding rates among low-income African American women.

This book was released on 2016-08-06 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) began 40 years ago as a pilot program and has since grown to serve over 8 million pregnant women, and mothers of and their infants and young children. Today the program serves more than a quarter of the pregnant women and half of the infants in the United States, at an annual cost of about $6.2 billion. Through its contribution to the nutritional needs of pregnant, breastfeeding, and post-partum women; infants; and children under 5 years of age; this federally supported nutrition assistance program is integral to meeting national nutrition policy goals for a significant portion of the U.S. population. To assure the continued success of the WIC, Congress mandated that the Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reevaluate the program's food packages every 10 years. In 2014, the USDA asked the Institute of Medicine to undertake this reevaluation to ensure continued alignment with the goals of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. This, the second report of this series, provides a summary of the work of phase I of the study, and serves as the analytical underpinning for phase II in which the committee will report its final conclusions and recommendations.

Download or read book The Interface of Breastfeeding and Work written by Jessica A. Kerby and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vocational psychologissts have been called to expand the traditional discourses related to work and career to address the actual work experiences of individuals, especially those of the working class. Breastfeeding rates are on the rise among employed women and mothers of low-income, but little is known about women of low-income who seek to concurrently work and breastfeed. Work-family interface theories suggest employed mothers of low-income may experience conflict and/or enhancement through multiple roles. The purpose of this research was to answer the call to vocational psychologists, give voice to the narratives around breastfeeding and work among low-income mothers, and to evaluate the extent to which work-family interface theories (work-family conflict and role enhancement) were sufficient for understanding and organizing these narratives. Participants were six WIC-qualified mothers who were currently breasfeeding and intending to return to work within six months postpartum. A longitudinal design was employed; participants were interviewed on three occasions, once prior to their postpartum return to employment and twice after they resumed work. Phenomenological data analysis methods resulted in individual narratives, descriptive themes, interpretive themes, and a collective narrative. The descriptive themes were: 1) Breastfeeding is "Best," 2) Emotionally, Breastfeeding "Feels Good," 3) Bottle feeding is "Normal," 4) Work is Necessary, 5) Juggling Work and Motherhood is Doable, 6) Adjustments are Needed, 7) Time and Effort Matter, and 8) Weaning is Bittersweet. Intrepretive themes were: 1) Knowledge Doesn't Equal Success, 2) Difficult to Overcome Low Supply, 3) Supply and Duration: Workplace Characteristics Matter, 4) Job Satisfaction: Breastfeeding Support Matters, 5) Supply and Duration: Maternal Attitude Matters Too. In isolation, neither work-conflict theory nor role enhancement theory were sufficient for describing participants' experiences, though some support was found for each theory. This suggests that these theories may function in combination. Three factors were discussed as most salient when it came to breastfeeding duration: personal comfort with breastfeeding, 2) type of intervention implemented when problems arose, and 3) structural and attitudinal support in the workplace. For each of these factors, implications for the practice of breastfeeding support professionals and research on the interface of breastfeeding and work are discussed.

Download or read book Breastfeeding Intention and Initiation Among Rural, Low-income Native American and African American Adolescent Mothers in North Carolina: Testing the Theory of Planned Behavior written by Cynthia Herndon and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT Infant feeding practices can greatly impact a child's life with far reaching implications based upon decisions a mother makes for her newborn. Breastfeeding is the preferred method of infant feeding because of its association with health benefits to both the mother and child. The prevalence of breastfeeding among rural, low income, disadvantaged groups to include Native American (NA) and African American (AA) adolescent mothers is low. NAs and AAs bear a disproportionate burden of illness and health risks compared to other races and ethnic groups in the United States. Breastfeeding is a targeted public health strategy to improve the health of infants and children and decrease or eliminate the gap of health disparities among the maternal-child aggregate populations in our nation. The purpose of the study was to (1) test the Theory of Planned Behavior by examining the relationship of the components (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control/ self-efficacy, and breastfeeding knowledge) to determine breastfeeding intention and initiation of rural, low-income Native American (NA) and African American (AA) adolescent mothers in rural communities in southeastern North Carolina; (2) determine the significant similarities and differences between breastfeeding and formula feeding adolescent groups related to the constructs; (3) explore the relationship of intention to initiation, and (4) examine the relationship between sociodemographic variables with breastfeeding intention and initiation of adolescent mothers. The sample included 60 NA and 60 AA adolescents recruited through resources of care that were offered to prenatal clients in two public health departments. Findings included the constructs of the TPB were significant in predicting the probability of breastfeeding intention and breastfeeding initiation in rural, low-income NA and AA adolescent mothers. Overall total variance explained by the model related to the prediction of breastfeeding initiation at 4 days postpartum was 73% and correctly classified 92.2% of cases. Three control measures were found to be statistically significant, with Perceived Breastfeeding Control having the highest significance, followed by Negative Breastfeeding Sentiments and Social Professional Support. The model revealed a statistical significance in the relationship of breastfeeding intention and breastfeeding initiation at 4 days postpartum in rural, low-income NA and AA adolescent mothers. The strongest predictor of breastfeeding initiation was the Breastfeeding Control Scale. The Formula Feeding Group scored significantly higher on the Negative Breastfeeding Sentiments scale, whereas the Breastfeeding Group scored significantly higher on the Breastfeeding Control Scale and the Positive Breastfeeding Sentiment Scale. Significant differences were found related to ethnic groups, with NA adolescents initiating breastfeeding more often, being married more often, and living with a significant other more often than AAs. More adolescents who attended childbirth classes and breastfeeding classes breastfed than those who did not. Recommendations of the study included the utilization of the constructs of the TPB in development of research based assessments and interventions that promote breastfeeding behavior among rural, low-income NA and AA adolescent mothers, and identification of at-risk individuals for not breastfeeding and promoting programs to assist with providing help for resolving barriers to breastfeeding, and nurse educators emphasizing the importance of promoting breastfeeding among adolescents and vulnerable populations

This book was released on 2006 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problem: Breastfeeding has long been recognized as the preferred method of feeding in the first year of life (American Academy of Pediatrics, 1997). Extensive research confirms the nutritional, economic, biomedical, immunological, and psychological advantages of breast milk. Despite the clear benefits of breastfeeding to mother and infant, breastfeeding rates today continue to remain below the recommended levels in the United States (US), most notably among low-income mothers. Research has shown that breastfeeding self-efficacy is one predictive factor affecting breastfeeding duration. Theoretical Framework: Dennis's (1999) Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Theory, was the basis for this study. Using this theory, the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Intervention Program (BSEIP) was developed. The intervention consisted of a one-hour program delivered during the last trimester of pregnancy. The BSEIP consisted of measures to increase breastfeeding self-efficacy, including education, practice, and demonstration of breastfeeding techniques. Social support and practical advice were provided in the first two-weeks of the postpartum period. Methods: A quasi-Experimental design was used to test the effect of the BSEIP on duration of breastfeeding. A convenience sample of 36 low-income predominately non-Hispanic White women was recruited from two prenatal clinics on the outskirts of a large metropolitan area. All women indicated their intent to breastfeed their infant. Women were assigned by prenatal clinic to either receive or not receive the BSEIP. Data were collected using the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES) and a demographic profile. Women were contacted by telephone at two and six weeks postpartum to determine if they were still breastfeeding and to complete the BSES. Results: Women who received the BSEIP had greater breastfeeding self-efficacy at two and six weeks postpartum than women who did not receive the intervention; women who received the intervention also increased their self-efficacy scores over time. The mean duration of breastfeeding between the two Groups was also statistically significant: Women who received the intervention breastfed for an average of 28.82 days compared to 11.86 days for women who did not receive the intervention. Implications: The results of this study suggest that the one-hour BSEIP during the last trimester of the prenatal period may increase the duration of breastfeeding in low-income women who intend to breastfeed. This study supports the literature which found that prenatal education and postpartum support are important to the outcome of breastfeeding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeding during the first two years of life is very important for the nutrition and growth of an infant. It has a great effect on early morbidity and mortality and long-term effects on health. Breastfeeding has many benefits for both the infant and mother, whereas formula feeding, although associated with disadvantages and problems, can be life-saving for infants who need it. This book examines many aspects of infant feeding and nutrition with chapters covering such topics as the impact of the first 1000 days of nutrition on child health and development, breastfeeding, factors behind the decision to breastfeed or formula feed, and the relationship between breastfeeding and gut microbiota, among others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""An outstanding contribution to the history of medicine and gender, "Don't Kill Your Baby" should be on the bookshelves of historians and health professionals as well as anyone interested in the way in which medical practice can be shaped by external forces." -Margaret Marsh, Rutgers University How did breastfeeding-once accepted as the essence of motherhood and essential to the well-being of infants-come to be viewed with distaste and mistrust? Why did mothers come to choose artificial food over human milk, despite the health risks? In this history of infant feeding, Jacqueline H. Wolf focuses on turn-of-the-century Chicago as a microcosm of the urbanizing United States. She explores how economic pressures, class conflict, and changing views of medicine, marriage, efficiency, self-control, and nature prompted increasing numbers of women and, eventually, doctors to doubt the efficacy and propriety of breastfeeding. Examining the interactions among women, dairies, and health care providers, Wolf uncovers the origins of contemporary attitudes toward and myths about breastfeeding. Jacqueline H. Wolf is assistant professor in the history of medicine, Department of Social Medicine, Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine, and adjust assistant professor, Women's Studies Program, Ohio University.
