“…Although our results are consistent with others showing that immigrant households have more food insecurity, 52 we did not find that length of stay in the United States was related to food insecurity. Contrary to a previous study linking depression to feeding style, 53 we did not find this relationship. Future studies are needed to further explore the relationships between food insecurity, depression, and infant feeding.…”

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Food insecurity has been linked to childhood obesity in a number of studies. Few studies have explored potential pathways through which food insecurity is related to child weight, especially in low-income families with young infants. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:We found that food insecurity was related to maternal controlling feeding styles and concerns about the infants' future weight. Early obesity prevention should aim to decrease food insecurity and to reduce controlling feeding styles in families who remain food insecure. abstract OBJECTIVES: We explored the relationship between household food insecurity and maternal feeding styles, infant feeding practices, and perceptions and attitudes about infant weight in low-income mothers. METHODS: Mothers participating in the Special Supplemental FoodProgram for Women, Infants, and Children with infants aged between 2 weeks and 6 months were interviewed. By using regression analyses, the following relationships were examined between food insecurity and: (1) controlling feeding styles (restrictive and pressuring); (2) infant feeding practices, including breastfeeding, juice consumption, and adding cereal to the bottle; and (3) perceptions and attitudes about infant weight. Path analysis was used to determine if perceptions and attitudes about infant weight mediated the relationships between food insecurity and controlling feeding styles. ). This concern mediated the relationship between food insecurity and both restrictive (P = .009) and pressuring (P = .01) feeding styles. RESULTS:CONCLUSIONS: Increased concern about future overweight and controlling feeding styles represent potential mechanisms by which food insecurity could be related to obesity. Obesity prevention should aim to decrease food insecurity and to reduce controlling feeding styles in families who remain food insecure. Pediatrics 2012;130:254-261

“…Previous investigators have suggested that maternal depression may impact parenting practices [16], potentially limiting positive interactions with children and impairing ability to breastfeed, offer healthy and balanced meals, and encourage active play [13,18,20,24]. Thus, we examined whether these factors were associated with both maternal depression and child overweight/obesity in this sample, intending to highlight potential causal pathways.…”

“…Maternal depression, which is estimated to afflict 14 % of women of reproductive age [12], has been implicated as a potential risk factor for childhood overweight and obesity [22]. The relationship of maternal depression and childhood overweight/obesity has been hypothesized to be associated with parenting practices [16], as depressed mothers may have difficulty sustaining exclusive breastfeeding [1], recognizing child satiety cues [18,19], providing healthful food choices [18,24], and modeling physical activity behaviors relative to non-depressed mothers [23]. Maternal depression also increases risk for depression in children [5,14,15], which may in turn influence children's weight [25].…”

Objective Although previous studies have examined the impact of maternal depression on child overweight and obesity, little is known about the relationship in Latino families, who suffer from high risks of depression and obesity. We prospectively investigated the association between depressive symptoms in women with young children and child overweight and obesity (overweight/obesity) at age 7 years among Latino families. Methods Participants included 332 singletons with anthropometric measures obtained at 7 years from the Center for the Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas (CHAMACOS) study, a birth cohort study. Maternal depression was assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale when the children were 1, 3.5, and 7 years. Overweight and obesity was measured by body mass index (kg/m 2 ) at age 7 years. Results 63 % of women had CES-D scores consistent with depression in at least one of the 3 given assessments. Compared to children whose mothers were never depressed, children whose mothers were depressed at all three assessments had 2.4 times the adjusted odds of overweight/ obesity at age 7 years (95 % CI 1.1-5.6). However, a single positive maternal depression screen was not associated with child overweight/obesity and there was no difference in the odds of overweight/obesity by the age of the child when maternal depression occurred. Conclusion Chronic maternal depression during a child's early life was associated with child overweight/obesity at 7 years. Addressing maternal depression is a critical component of comprehensive obesity prevention and treatment strategies for Latino children.

“…There is no relationship between improvement and the types of CP as all children with different types of CP improve in different way. In different studies it was found that there is no relation between feeding difficulties and types of CP 12,13 . Physicians determine the types of CP depending upon the motor involvement, the feeding difficulties is depends upon mainly on structural differences and not determine by the types of CP 14 .…”

Background: The majority of children with Cerebral Palsy have feeding difficulties. It has a great impact on growth and development in children with cerebral palsy. Feeding difficulties may leads to chronic respiratory disease, malnutrition and reduce quality of life of both children and caregiver. Feeding difficulties cause stressful meal time for caregivers and fear of food for children. In well resource country many hi-tech equipments for the management of feeding difficulties are available but which is not available in low resource country like Bangladesh. Though some of low tech approaches have started a little but the effectiveness or outcomes of these technologies are not evaluated. This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of feeding training on feeding difficulties in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: This is a quasi experimental study. Twenty children with cerebral palsy aged 2 -9 years having feeding difficulties enrolled as study subjects. Initially degree of feeding difficulties were assessed by evaluating body posture and frequency of aspiration during feeding which is scored according to the response of the child. After giving feeding training to the mother feeding difficulties were reevaluated. Mean score of feeding difficulties before and after intervention were compared by paired 't' test. Results were analyzed by SPSS. Results: Among the study subject 14(70%) were male and 6(30%) were female. Most of them were found to have hemiplegic CP 7(35%). The mean score in terms of positioning and frequency of aspiration were significantly changed after intervention (14.15 vs. 15.85 p = <0.0005), (11.6 vs 15.5 p = < 0.0005). Conclusion: Low-tech strategies and therapies are helpful for the management of feeding difficulties in children with cerebral palsy. Foods and drinks modifications should need to get extra attention for the nutritional improvements of those children. Government and international and national health NGOs should studied more about these low tech strategies to improve the condition of the children with cerebral palsy and to reduce the stress and sufferings of the parents.
