,What is the impact of low intake of Vitamin B12 on breastmilk? - Answer: Since vitamin B12 crosses the
placenta during pregnancy and is present in breast milk, exclusively breastfed infants of women who
consume no animal products may have very limited reserves of vitamin B12, and possibly become
deficient
The American Academy of Pediatrics (2012) - Answer: · "Reaffirms its recommendation of exclusive
breastfeeding for about 6 months, followed by continued breastfeeding as complementary foods are
introduced, with continuation of breastfeeding for 1 year or longer as mutually desired by mother and
infant."
The American Dietetic Association's Position Statement: - Answer: It is position of the American
Dietetic Association that exclusive breastfeeding provides optimal nutrition and health protection for
the first 6 months of like and breastfeeding with complementary foods
The American Public Health Association's Recommendation - Answer: Affirm that exclusive
breastfeeding for 6 months with continues breastfeeding for at least the first 1 to 2 years of life, is the
biologic norm and that all alternative feeding methods carry health risks in comparison, with rare
exceptions
The current breastfeeding recommendations are that - Answer: mothers exclusively breastfeed their
infant for the first 6 months life and add complimentary foods at six months and continue to breastfeed
for at least one year.
Why Are Professional Organizations Advocating for Mothers to Breastfeed? - Answer: There are a
number of benefits for babies who are breastfed, as well as for mothers who breastfeed their babies
For example, one benefit for the breastfeeding mother is - Answer: that she will lose her pregnancy
weight much quicker
Breastfeeding burns up to - Answer: 500 calories a day
- That's like 2 hours of aerobic exercise. So, while it's good for your baby breastfeeding is also great for
your body.
,How Do You Know When The Link Between Breastfeeding and Health Outcomes Is Strong? - Answer: •
sample size
• meta-analysis
• published in a peer review journal article
• Study designs
• How was breastfeeding measured?
• How are back the participants asked to recall the breastfeeding dosage?
Sample size - Answer: so, if I have a very small sample size of 10 women versus a large sample size of
my study of 3,000 women, or mother baby infant dyads. The study with 3,000 participants is going to be
much stronger than that of 10.
Meta-analysis - Answer: is when we have serval studies that are examining the relationship between in
this context, breastfeeding and a reduction in risk in obesity, and we pull them together
Peer Review Journal Article - Answer: essentially means that peers, individuals who are experts in the
same field are reviewing the article or manuscript
Study designs: The strongest type of research design is the randomized control study. - Answer: is
essentially when we take a group of participants that we recruit into a study, and we randomly assign
them to receive the intervention, and those to receive nothing or what we call the control.
How was breastfeeding measured? - Answer: ⁃ Older studies initially would ask women, did you
breastfeed, and they would say yes and then they would look at some out the health outcomes.
⁃ Were they exclusively breastfed?
⁃ If they weren't exclusively breastfed and receiving some formula, how much? Because there is a very
big difference between a mom who is feeding once a day formula to their child and everything else is
breast milk, versus someone who is only breastfeeding once a day.
How are back the participants asked to recall the breastfeeding dosage? - Answer: the most accurate
way to ask women about recall, which I have seen a few studies that do this it's quite costly, but actually
what they do is from the time the baby is born, they have a research assistant call and check in every
, few days and ask, · are you breastfeeding? Have you given anything other than breast milk? If so, how
much? And they document that.
The Promotion of Breastfeeding Intervention (PROBIT) - Answer: this is the largest randomized
breastfeeding study

· N- 16,500 infant pairs were recruited
The Promotion of Breastfeeding Intervention (PROBIT):
Three phases - Answer: 1) at 12 months,
2) at 6.5 years,
3) at 11.5 years
The Promotion of Breastfeeding Intervention (PROBIT):
Setting - Answer: Belarus (located near Ukraine). Was selected because at the time it had similar
conditions that were similar to other developed countries, including:
