Summary: The study found that mothers who received epidural analgesia negatively influenced infant rooting behavior and maternal mean oxytocin levels, while oxytocin infusion alone had no effect. Infants who suck well stimulate oxytocin release more efficiently, leading to a better stimulation of milk production and consequently to a reduced infant weight loss 2 days after birth.

Summary: This article explores the educational resources, methods, and curriculum used in the education of undergraduate health students related to lactation through a scoping review. The findings suggest that best practice standards are used for educational resources, methods, curricular approaches, and foundational topics. However, despite improvement in knowledge and skill, there is still a lack of change in students' confidence. It is important to ensure consistency and improvement in teaching across disciplines.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of labor epidural analgesia (LEA) on exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) up to 6 months. The findings suggest that LEA does not affect EBF rates. Factors such as maternal age and perceived insufficient breast milk were found to be associated with lower odds of EBF.

Summary: This study evaluated the availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality of on-campus lactation spaces for breastfeeding student-parents. Most participants were satisfied with the availability of designated lactation spaces, but some faced challenges due to physical or informational inaccessibility. Providing facilities such as breast pumps, sinks, and study desks is crucial for enhancing the quality of lactation spaces.

Summary: This study evaluated the availability and quality of on-campus lactation spaces through in-depth interviews with student-parents, finding that most participants were satisfied with the availability and quality of the designated lactation spaces, although not all used them. Some participants opted for closer alternatives due to inconvenience or lack of information.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the anesthesia effect of dural-puncture epidural (DPE) and standard epidural in cesarean delivery. The results showed that DPE technique resulted in a faster onset and better quality of anesthesia compared to the standard epidural technique. Therefore, in scheduled cesarean delivery, the DPE technique can provide better anesthesia effect.

Summary: One possible factor contributing to racial disparities in the United States is inequitable access to lactation education. To address this issue, two checklists were created for patients and healthcare professionals to ensure that all parents receive the education they need to make informed infant feeding decisions. The process of creating and validating these checklists is described in this paper. The initial versions of the checklists were developed based on a review of the literature on barriers to lactation initiation and retention in the Black community, and expert consultation was used to assess their content validity. Healthcare providers agreed that more education and support are needed for pregnant and postpartum parents. The experts found the checklists useful and comprehensive and provided feedback for revisions and improvements. Implementing these checklists could increase provider accountability in delivering adequate lactation education and improve clients' lactation knowledge and self-efficacy. Further research is required to evaluate the effect of implementing these checklists in a healthcare setting.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effects of a Mindfulness Childbirth and Parenting (MBCP) intervention on heart rate variability (HRV), serum inflammatory markers, and self-assessed mental health. The results showed that participants who received MBCP reported a significant reduction in perceived stress and an increase in mindfulness compared to the control group. However, the intervention had no significant effect on postnatal depression, inflammatory serum markers, or HRV measures in this sub-study.
