The child presented to us on day 2 of life with complaints of bilious vomiting. An abdominal X-ray showed a double-bubble sign and a diagnosis of duodenal atresia was made. Duodenodoudenostomy with a feeding jejunostomy using an infant feeding tube was done.

Among 74 study subjects, duration of breast feeding as ascertained from an interview was well correlated with that recorded in mother and child health clinic charts. Concordance was of similar magnitude in subgroups of ethnicity, mother's...

METHODS We analyzed data fro...

Growth faltering and nutritional deficiencies continue to be highly prevalent in infants and young children (IYC) living in low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries. There is increasing recognition that feeding behaviors and styles, particularly responsive feeding (RF), could influence acceptance of food and dietary intake and thus the growth of IYC. This paper presents the evolution of RF resea...
