		<title> What are US infants and toddlers eating?</title>      
		<description><![CDATA[With childhood obesity being a major health issue, getting off to the right start with a healthy diet is critical. Surprisingly, there are few studies, based on nationally representative samples, to guide nutrition advice given to parents of young children. In 2002, the Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) was conducted for the first time to gather data on dietary patterns of children, ages 4 to 24 months. In 2008, a second cross-sectional, national FITS survey collected information on the......<br clear="all">]]></description>

		<title> Do Omega-3 supplements prevent preterm births?</title>      
		<description><![CDATA[About 12.7% of all births in the US are premature.&#xa0; Even though weekly&#xa0; injections of&#xa0; hydroxyprogesterone caproate can reduce the risk of preterm birth, the rate of prematurity is still about 36%&#xa0; among women at high-risk ( or those who have previously delivered preterm). The purpose of this study was to determine whether omega-3 fatty acid supplements could offer additional benefits to women at high-risk of a preterm delivery.
The study design involved a randomized, controlled, double-blind......<br clear="all">]]></description>

		<title> Can a hospital clinic increase exclusive breastfeeding?</title>      
		<description><![CDATA[Exclusive breastfeeding--breast milk only--is recommended for babies in the first six months of life. However, among&#xa0;immigrant Latinas, exclusive breastfeeding is rare. Most interventions that have been successful in increasing breastfeeding have involved&#xa0; face-to-face counseling with skilled staff.&#xa0;Less is known about&#xa0;the effectiveness of lower cost strategies. A recent&#xa0;study, published in the Journal of Human Lactation,&#xa0;&#xa0;examined the&#xa0; the impact of a hospital-based breastfeeding clinic......<br clear="all">]]></description>

		<title> Sleep deprivation and failure to lose weight after delivery</title>      
		<description><![CDATA[As many parents know, the arrival of a baby in the house often means less sleep for Mom. Research has found a relationship between sleep patterns and obesity, heart disease, and diabetes but no one has explored whether sleep deprivation in postpartum women affects weight loss after birth. A recent study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, attempts to address the question of whether amount of sleep and changes in sleep patterns affect postpartum weight retention. From 1999 to......<br clear="all">]]></description>
