Book Description
Maternal decisions about breastfeeding (BF), formula feeding, and complementary feeding are guided by biological and socio-cultural factors. Obese women often experience poor BF outcomes. Maternal weight is also a proxy for the food environment because diet is a determinant of weight. Our understanding of cultural knowledge and the mother-child food relationship in complementary feeding remain fragmentary. The aims of this dissertation were to examine the association between maternal fatness and child feeding practices from 0-24 mo and understand conceptualizations and practices of child feeding, particularly the mother-child food relationship within the household food environment. First we examined if maternal fatness was associated with BF duration, dietary diversity (DD), and child feeding index (CFI), using data from Mexican mother-child pairs. Maternal fatness was not associated with BF duration or DD. Maternal fatness was not a significant factor in CFI as measured by the index. Second, ethnography was used to examine how 31 mothers in Xoxocotla, Morelos, Mexico conceptualized complementary feeding practices. The eight concepts identified were: probaditas, preparing separate foods, readiness to eat solid foods, consistency, variety, child likes and dislikes, money and food costs, and healthiness of foods. There was strong evidence of cultural consensus. Household factors influenced feeding practices. Last, data from 24-h recalls of 25 mother-child pairs (9-18 mo-old) from the ethnographic study were used to examine the maternal-child food relationship and the household food environment. The frequency of shared meals and foods between mother and child was attributable to maternal concepts of child foods, time of day, the child's age and sleep patterns, family and maternal food preferences, maternal social roles, and presence of family members at meals. This complexity was captured by the maternal and child food space concept. This dissertation showed that maternal fatness was not of public health significance in child feeding, whereas maternal knowledge and household food environment were important. The ethnographic findings have implications for how we approach child feeding, such that to improve practices we must use the maternal system of knowledge and consider the social processes that construct the complementary diet beyond educating mothers on food quality and consistency.

Book Description
This book explores in depth the relationships between nutrition and oral health. Oral health is an integral part of general health across the life course, and this book examines nutritional and oral health considerations from childhood through to old age, with particular attention focused on the consequences of demographic changes. Current knowledge on the consequences of poor diet for the development and integrity of the oral cavity, tooth loss, and the progression of oral diseases is thoroughly reviewed. Likewise, the importance of maintenance of a disease-free and functional dentition for nutritional well-being at all stages of life is explained. Evidence regarding the impact of oral rehabilitation on nutritional status is evaluated, and strategies for changing dietary behaviour in order to promote oral health are described. Nutrition and Oral Health will be an ideal source of information for all who are seeking a clearly written update on the subject.

Book Description
WHO and UNICEF jointly developed this global strategy to focus world attention on the impact that feeding practices have on the nutritional status, growth and development, health, and thus the very survival of infants and young children. The strategy is the result of a comprehensive two-year participatory process. It is based on the evidence of nutrition's significance in the early months and years of life, and of the crucial role that appropriate feeding practices play in achieving optimal health outcomes. The strategy is intended as a guide for action; it identifies interventions with a proven positive impact; it emphasizes providing mothers and families the support they need to carry out their crucial roles, and it explicitly defines the obligations and responsibilities in this regards of governments, international organizations, and other concerned parties.

Book Description
Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Book Description
Among Mexican-American children, 35-40% are overweight. To achieve the Healthy People 2020 goal of reducing childhood obesity, interventions must be developed based on an understanding of the origins of childhood obesity. The goal of this study was to determine relationships between maternal food insecurity, child feeding practices and perceived child weight in a Mexican-origin population. Data were obtained through food security and medical history surveys along with anthropometric measurements of 175 Mexican-origin mother-child dyads living in rural, agricultural towns. No relationships were seen between food insecurity and other variables; however, only 31% of mothers of overweight children accurately identified them as such and only 47% of these mothers reported an attempt to change her child's nutrition or physical activity. This study exposed the need to determine factors involved in the identification of childhood obesity and in how mothers decide to change nutrition and physical activity for their children.

Book Description
The Joint U.S.-Mexico Workshop on Preventing Obesity in Children and Youth of Mexican Origin was initiated by a desire to share experiences regarding the problem of obesity in children and youth of Mexican origin on both sides of the border, with a particular focus on potential solutions. U.S and Mexican researchers, public health officials, industry leaders, and policy-makers engaged in valuable dialogue to share perspectives, challenges, and opportunities. Commonalities and differences in the United States and Mexico regarding risk factors, potential interventions and programs, and need for all sectors to collaborate and make progress toward solving this serious public health problem were also discussed. This dialogue served as a basis to explore a bi-national agenda for addressing this epidemic, which was the ultimate goal of the workshop.
