Association between breast milk intake at 9 –10 months of age and growth and development among Malawian young children
Abstract
World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for infants for the first 6 months of life, followed by introduction of nutritious complementary foods alongside breastfeeding. Breast milk remains a significant source of nourishment in the second half of infancy and beyond; however, it is not clear whether more breast milk is always better. The present study was designed to determine the association between amount of breast milk intake at 9–10 months of age and infant growth and development by 12–18 months of age. The study was nested in a randomized controlled trial conducted in Malawi. Regress...

Infant and young child feeding in emergencies: Organisational policies and activities during the refugee crisis in Lebanon
Abstract
Appropriate infant and young child feeding (IYCF) is key to reducing mortality amongst children aged under 2. Facilitating adherence to recommended IYCF practices during emergencies includes having relevant policies to support breastfeeding and complementary feeding as well as regulating the distribution of breast milk substitutes. In the current crisis, more than 1.2 million Syrian refugees are in Lebanon and it is timely to examine organisational IYCF policies and programmes. One hundred and thirty‐five non‐governmental organisations providing humanitarian aid in Lebanon were invited to participate in an onl...

Innovative optimization of ready to use food for treatment of acute malnutrition
Abstract
Treatment of acute malnutrition typically requires the provision of ready‐to‐use food (RUF). Common RUF is effective but expensive, being manufactured from costly ingredients, and shipped worldwide from few global suppliers. I developed a linear programming tool to create RUF optimized for low cost using locally grown crops while maintaining necessary nutritional goals and other constraints. My tool utilizes a database of the nutritional value, price, and water efficiency of suitable ingredients and allows adjustment of constraints, including nutrients, flavour, and crop water efficiency. It is designed to (a)...

Distinct clusters of stunted children in India: An observational study
We examined whether parental characteristics predicted the likelihood of a child belonging to each latent class using a multinomial logit regression model. We found there to be 5 distinct groups of stunted children; “poor, older, and poor health‐related outcomes,” “poor, young, and poorest health‐related outcomes,” “poor with mixed health‐related outcomes,” “wealthy and good health‐related outcomes,” and “typical traits.” Both mother and father's educational attainment, body mass index, and height were important predictors of class membership. Our findings demonstrate evidence that there is hete...
