Summary: There is limited knowledge regarding the factors influencing non-exclusive breastfeeding (NEBF) practices in immigrant populations, particularly in Latin America. This study aimed to determine the association between maternal factors and the prevalence of NEBF in Haitian immigrant women in southern Chile. The findings showed that Haitian immigrant women without legal residency, recently arrived, with low educational attainment, and limited knowledge of breastfeeding are at higher risk of not providing exclusive breastfeeding. However, employment, access to basic services, and Spanish proficiency were found to be protective factors associated with higher rates of exclusive breastfeeding.

Summary: Early introduction of liquids and foods worldwide has negative effects on breastfeeding practice, nutrition, and health. In a semi-rural community in Tabasco, Mexico, exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) is being replaced by formula milk (FM) and early complementary feeding (CF). Factors associated with these inadequate feeding practices are related to returning to work, information received during prenatal visits, and the mother's beliefs and thoughts.

Summary: Evaluation of postnatal exposure to organic pollutants is crucial for breastfeeding infants during the perinatal period. Levels of various organic pollutants in breast milk samples from breastfeeding mothers were determined and correlated with factors such as season, maternal age, place of residence, and dietary consumption habits. The assessment of the risk to infant health revealed that specific organic pollutants accounted for the majority of targeted pollutants in the analyzed samples.

Summary: Early breastfeeding practices are important for later breastfeeding behaviors and can be influenced by multiple factors. Despite the positive influence of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative on breastfeeding initiation, its impact on the association between maternal country of birth and first day in-hospital breastfeeding in Portugal has not been examined. The initiative helps reduce differences between migrant and native participants, promoting optimal breastfeeding practices among natives.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between mothers' use of exclusive breast milk and the duration of breastfeeding with child cognitive development. The results showed no significant differences in early math skills and memory-span between children exclusively breastfed and those fed with formula. However, children who were non-exclusively breastfed for around 6.8 months had slightly higher memory-span than those who were never breastfed, and this difference persisted until age 7.

Summary: This study investigated the usage of free folic acid supplements and the impact of knowledge on their usage among rural pregnant women in China. The results showed suboptimal usage of folic acid supplements despite government distribution. Awareness of folic acid policy was positively associated with the picking up and intake of folic acid, while knowledge of health and nutrition during pregnancy was related to a longer duration of folic acid intake but had no impact on the picking up rate and periconceptional intake.

Summary: In their study, Cohn et al. (2019) conducted a wallet drop experiment in 40 countries to measure civic honesty globally, which sparked controversies due to the use of email response rate as the sole metric. To investigate this issue, the authors conducted a replication study in China, using email responses and wallet recovery to assess civic honesty. They found a higher level of civic honesty in China compared to the original study, emphasizing the importance of considering cultural differences when evaluating civic honesty.
