“…Besides the feeding practices in the first years of life, maternal influences might also determine the dietary patterns at later ages. Accumulating evidence from experimental studies indicates that maternal intake of foods rich in fat, sugar, and sodium during pregnancy and lactation is accompanied by a higher preference for these foods in their offspring (60,61) . Similarly, several observational studies have shown a positive association between maternal and child dietary intakes and diet quality (62)(63)(64) .…”

Some evidence suggests that breastfeeding may modify food preferences in the later years of life. The present study aimed to provide a systematic review of observational studies investigating the association between exposure to breastmilk and its duration with data-driven or hypothesis-driven (or diet quality scores) dietary patterns over one year of age. The databases of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for observational studies published from January 2010 until July 2021, which led to the identification of 22 eligible articles. There was considerable heterogeneity between studies in terms of assessment of exposure and outcome. Of the 11 studies that assessed data-driven dietary patterns, ten reported a significant association for at least one identified dietary pattern. Overall, being breastfed as well as a longer duration of any/exclusive breastfeeding were associated with higher scores on healthy dietary patterns characterized mainly by high loadings of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. In comparison, a negative association was found for unhealthy dietary patterns rich in foods with high content of added sugar, salt, and saturated fats. In terms of diet quality scores, nine out of 11 studies reported a significant positive association between the duration of any breastfeeding and adherence to recommended healthy diets or dietary guidelines. In conclusion, the evidence from this review was generally in support of the hypothesis indicating breastfeeding is associated with healthy dietary patterns at later ages. However, due to the methodological limitations in the available studies, further research is warranted to elucidate solid evidence on this topic.

ObjectiveInvestigate the association between the dietary diversity of preschool children and proximate factors including household food insecurity, maternal food choice, preferences, khat use, and levels of depressive symptoms.DesignCross-sectional survey of randomly selected households.SettingHaramaya Health and Demographic Surveillance site in Eastern Ethiopia, predominantly smallholder farming households.Participants678 preschool children (24–59 months) and their mothers.MethodsThe key outcome, the adequacy of dietary diversity of preschool children, was calculated using a 24-hour parental dietary recall. Binary logistic regression was then used to identify maternal and household factors associated with dietary adequacy versus inadequacy.ResultsThe majority (80.53%) of surveyed children had low dietary diversity (mean Dietary Diversity (MDD)) score of 3.06±1.70 on a 7-point scale). Approximately 80% of households exhibited food insecurity. Households with greater food security (adjusted OR (AOR)=1.96, 95% CI 1.19 to 3.23), healthier maternal food choice (AOR=2.19, 95% CI 1.12 to 4.31) and broader maternal food preferences (AOR=4.95, 95% CI 1.11 to 21.95) were all associated with higher dietary diversity of their preschool children (p≤0.05). Other covariates associated with adequate child dietary diversity included improved household drinking water sources (AOR=1.84, 95% CI 1.16 to 2.92) and family planning use (AOR=1.69, 95% CI 1.00 to 2.86). Despite predictions, however, maternal depression and khat consumption were not identified as factors.ConclusionsThe dietary diversity of preschool children is extremely low—a pattern observed in both food-secure and food-insecure households. Key factors include maternal selection of food for convenience and ease, preferences that do not include animal protein or healthier food choices, and lack of access to improved drinking water sources. Interventions around maternal food choice and preferences could improve preschool children’s nutritional health.
