It is also one of the most cost-effective childhood survival interventions. Breastfeeding practices are important for preventing child mortality and morbidity, as well as ensuring the optimal growth, health, and development of infants. The public health benefits of breastfeeding have been well documented in the medical literature, and include the following: associations with decreased risk for early-life diseases such as otitis media, respiratory tract infection, diarrhoea, and early childhood obesity (to name but a few). This Special Issue book includes a collection of studies on the use of novel methods to improve breastfeeding rates, and research exploring the short- and long-term benefits of breastfeeding for both the infant and mother, including technology-based approaches.BreastfeedingBiology, life sciencesbicsscAAAboriginalAfricaALSPACantenatal careantibiotic useAustraliabirth cohortbody compositionbreast feedingbreast milkbreast milk metabolomebreastfeedingbreastfeeding frequencycaesarean sectioncarieschild nutritionchildhoodchildrencircadian rhythmcortisolcortisoneculturally and linguistically diverse (CALD)daily intakeDHADNA methylationearly life nutritionECOWASeducational statusEPICEWASexclusive breastfeedingfatty acidsfenugreekfree amino acidgalactagoguesgestational ageglycomegrowthgrowth trajectoryhospitalizationshuman milkhuman milk carbohydratesinfantinfant cryinginfant mortalityinfantsinfectionsinitiation of breastfeedinginvolutionlactating mammary glandlactationlactoferrinlactoseLC-PUFAlipidomelitter sizelow milk supplymaternal agematernal anxietymaternal behaviormaternal protein restrictionmaternal stressmilk bankmilk compositionmilk flowmilk intakemortalitymultiple pregnancyneonateNTRoligosaccharidesomega-3omega-6parityperinatalplasma metabolic parameterspracticepregnancypregnancy outcomespremature birthpreterm infantprognosisprolonged lactationretinoic acidrisk factorsself-efficacysensitivity and specificityskin-to-skintemperamenttwinsUnited Arab Emiratesvitamin Avitamin A deficiencyweaningBiology, life sciencesWheeler Benauth1323725Agho Kingsley EauthBOOK9910404076803321Breastfeeding: Short and Long-Term Benefits to Baby and Mother3035776UNINA
