“…Secondly, variations in breastfeeding duration between the two studies may also have contributed to the difference in BMI-for-age-z-score between the two studies as several studies have shown beneficial effects on childhood BMI. [37][38][39] The HBT intervention was associated with significant improvements in breastfeeding rate and duration 23 as compared to this study in which a lesser effect on breastfeeding was observed. 24 Thirdly, it is also possible that the interventions tested did not have a sufficient dose to impact weight outcomes adequately.…”

Summary Background Few randomized controlled trial (RCT) interventions targeted children's early risk behaviours using telephone or short message service (SMS) support. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of telephone or SMS early intervention focusing on mothers' behaviours starting from late pregnancy to improve BMI, and eating and screen time behaviours of children aged 2 years in comparison with the control group. Methods A 3‐arm RCT was conducted in Australia, 2017–2019. Two arms involved the interventions using nurse‐led telephone or SMS support, delivered in nine stages from late pregnancy to age 2 years. The third arm was control. The primary outcome was children's objectively measured BMI and BMI z‐score at 2 years. Secondary outcomes included child eating and screen time behaviours as reported by parents at 2 years. Results At 2 years, 797 mother–child dyads (69%) completed the telephone survey with 666 (58%) completing weight and height measurements. The study found no statistically significant difference in BMI between the groups. The mean BMI for telephone support was 16.93 (95% CI: 16.73 to 17.13), for SMS 16.92 (95% CI: 16.73 to 17.11) or for control 16.95 (95% CI: 16.73 to 17.16) with a difference of −0.02 (95% CI: −0.31 to 0.27, p = 0.907) in telephone versus control, and a difference of −0.03 (95% CI: −0.30 to 0.24, p = 0.816) in SMS versus control. Telephone support was associated with higher odds of no bottle at bedtime (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 2.99; 95% CI: 2.01 to 4.47), family meals (AOR: 2.05; 95% CI: 1.26 to 3.33), drinking from a cup (AOR: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.24 to 2.88), less screen time (<1 h/day) (AOR: 1.56; 95% CI: 1.10 to 2.23) and not eating dinner in front of the TV (AOR: 1.50; 95% CI: 1.09 to 2.06). SMS support was also associated with higher odds of no bottle at bedtime (AOR 2.30, 95% CI: 1.58 to 3.33) than the control. Conclusion The telephone or SMS support intervention had no significant effects on BMI, but was effective in increasing no bottle use at bedtime. Telephone support showed more effects than SMS on reducing screen time and eating behaviours.

Introduction: Breast milk is, without a doubt, the food that provides all the nutrients essential for the healthy growth and development of children. Through effective breastfeeding practices, it is possible to prevent several chronic noncommunicable diseases in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.Objective: To investigate the relevance of using an educational strategy in breastfeeding promotion. Methods:It was a descriptive study with uncontrolled analytical approach conducted with 36 mothers of children under 2 years of age about breastfeeding, through an educational intervention using the booklet "Breastfeeding: an act of love". Data collection took place in two moments (pre-test and post-test). Ethics Committee approved the project under protocol No. 058657.Results: Data analysis revealed that 41.6% of the interviewees stated that they did not receive guidance about breast problems from any professional during prenatal care, and 22% reported having presented nipple fissures. Regarding the initiation of breastfeeding, 11.1% of the women interviewed did not knowthe importance of colostrum, and 30.6% did not know its benefits. Assessment of the mothers' knowledge before and after the intervention obtained a percentage of correctness of 50.7% and 70%, respectively. Conclusion:The educational activity to encourage breastfeeding was able to increase the mothers' knowledge about breastfeeding and its health benefits for women and children, revealing the relevance of using this educational strategy.

“…Moreover, several ERF have been shown to increase adiposity [ 36 , 37 ]. A study of body composition and breastfeeding in children under three years observed that BMI was not sensitive in detecting the effects identified by the triceps skinfold, which can be more sensitive to the differences that sometimes cannot be detected only by child-weight measurement [ 38 ]. In this sense, although our results show a decrease in both indicators, only the percentage of body fat was detected as significant.…”

“…Full breastfeeding at >6 months was found to be associated with lower childhood (5-6 years) fat mass [ 46 ]. Another study showed an inverse association between breastfeeding duration and skinfold thickness in children younger than three years [ 38 ]. This association may be because higher protein intake in formula-fed infants contributes to higher plasma insulin that stimulates greater fat deposition [ 47 ].…”

Background The 1000-day period encompassing pregnancy and the first two years of postnatal life is critical for preventing childhood obesity. Existing interventions targeting this period have been characterised by great variability in duration, objectives, and evaluation indicators. We aimed to evaluate the impact of an intervention developed during the entire 1000-day period on body mass index and body fat percentage at two years of age. Methods We designed a prospective, interventional, quasi-experimental study (ie, without randomisation or blinding of both groups) targeting mother-child pairs from the beginning of pregnancy up to two years of age belonging to the basic health area of Puerto Real (Cádiz). We developed and delivered an intervention from pregnancy to two years and assessed its effect. Results The duration of breastfeeding and vitamin D supplementation increased significantly after the intervention. The intervention group showed lowed skinfolds values, a significantly lower body fat percentage, as well as a lower accumulation of factor at two years than the control group. Conclusions The intervention has had an impact on body fat percentage at two years, potentially justified through its overall effect and the lower accumulation of early risk factors.
