Summary: This systematic review focused on improving dietary intake of complementary foods during infancy in obesity prevention trials. Out of 12 trials, 17 articles were selected and 21.8% of dietary variables showed statistically significant group differences. The overall risk of bias was rated as high due to variations in measurement and analysis methods. Future research could explore dietary pattern analyses for more meaningful outcomes in this age group.

Summary: This study provides preliminary evidence that a clinician-supported, web-based early intervention program for preterm infants had a positive effect on the parent-child relationship and maternal mental health immediately after the intervention but potentially little effect on child development.

Summary: This study investigated the neurodevelopmental effects of phthalate exposure during pregnancy and infancy. Using objective measures such as questionnaires and eye tracking tasks, the researchers found that prenatal exposure to monobenzyl phthalate was associated with shorter fixation durations, while postnatal exposure to di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate was associated with increased time spent looking at a novel face and eyes. Increased postnatal exposure to monoethyl, mono-iso-butyl, and mono-n-butyl phthalates was also linked to faster reaction times and decreased time spent looking at the eyes in a face recognition task. These findings highlight the importance of phthalate exposure in early life on neurodevelopment.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether maternal feeding styles at 12 months can predict child BMI z-scores at 72 months, and evaluate whether BMI z-scores at 18 months mediate this association. The results showed that restrictive feeding at 12 months predicted higher BMI z-scores at 72 months, and this effect was mediated by BMI z-scores at 18 months.

Summary: 2'-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL) is a highly abundant oligosaccharide in human milk that benefits neonatal health. This study evaluated the impact of different probiotic strains or a probiotic formulation on the microbiota and degradation of 2'-FL. Results showed that certain probiotic strains promoted the degradation of 2'-FL in slow-degrading microbiota. Additionally, significant changes in microbiota composition and metabolic activity were observed with specific probiotic strains or the probiotic formulation in slow degraders. Further research is needed to understand the role of host intestinal microbiota in the efficacy of these strains.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the association between cumulative aluminum exposure from vaccines before age 24 months and persistent asthma at age 24 to 59 months. A retrospective cohort study was conducted and the results showed a positive association between vaccine-related aluminum exposure and persistent asthma.

Summary: The study found that variations in neonatal brain microstructure, particularly the degree of left lateralization of the caudate nucleus, are associated with emerging language skills at 24 months. Cognitive function partially mediates the relationship between caudate microstructure and language function, especially in lower home literacy environments.

Summary: The study highlights the impact of HMOs, particularly 2'FL, on the establishment of intestinal microbiota, with the rate of 2'FL degradation being a crucial factor influencing microbiota evolution. Further research is needed to fully understand how early intervention with HMOs may affect the microbiota based on its ability to utilize 2'FL.

Summary: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether a fish oil and/or probiotics intervention in pregnant women with overweight or obesity would influence their 24-month-old children's tendency to become overweight and alter their body fat percentage. The results showed that the administration of fish oil and/or probiotics during pregnancy led to lower odds of overweight in the 24-month-old children compared to the placebo group. However, the intervention did not affect body fat percentage.

Summary: This study introduces a statistical method called IG-GSCA for investigating the associations between genes, brain, and behavior/cognition. The research considers biological characteristics and methodological complexities, and examines the effects of multiple genes interacting with environmental variables on brain region thickness variations and their impact on depression severity. The results suggest that specific genetic variations and gene-environment interactions have significant effects on brain regions that influence depression severity, which is consistent with previous studies.

Summary: This longitudinal cohort study described the practice of Assisted Infant Toilet Training (AITT) and caregiver satisfaction during the first year of life in a Western setting. Results showed that most caregivers could identify elimination signals, toileting attempts decreased with age, some families practiced AITT part-time, and daytime dryness was noted in 12%-14% of infants. Additionally, caregiver satisfaction was high and associated with positive outcomes like daytime and nighttime dryness.

Summary: This study validated a streamlined version of the mATSI measurement tool and confirmed its reliability and stability in a more diverse sample. The results suggest that anxiety toward science and value and enjoyment of science are two stable factors. This study and its modified factor structure could be valuable for researchers interested in student engagement and measuring middle-school students' attitudes toward science.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of infant formulas made with added corn-syrup solids on child eating behaviors. The results suggest that Hispanic infants consuming formula containing corn-syrup solids may develop greater food fussiness and reduced enjoyment of food in the first 2 years of life compared to breastfed infants.

Summary: This study aimed to validate patients' descriptions of pruritus and investigate the relationship between different descriptions of pruritus and the burden on patients with chronic pruritus. The study found that sensory pruritus was linked to pruritus patterns, while affective pruritus was related to psychological distress. Affective pruritus decreased patients' quality of life through its impact on sleep quality.
