Sponsor's own description

Effective early life programs that reduce the long-term non-communicable diseases (NCDs) risk could bring great economic benefits to the society. However, there is a lack of local data on the effect of nutrition on child growth and most research on early life intervention focus on disease models such as obese women to improve offspring health outcomes. There is limited research on postpartum interventions in the community that optimize maternal and infant nutrition through improving success of breastfeeding, infant growth diet quality and microbiota to enhance health in the adulthood. In this study, it is hypothesized that our early nutrition program could promote breastfeeding successful rate (increase the number of months the mothers breastfed their infants) and improve growth status, diet quality and microbiota of the infants which may reduce the risk of NCDs in the adulthood. The planned project proposal would like to include 240 pairs of mothers and infants. In order to test the protocol in the planned proposal, the investigators hope to run a pilot study to set up this community based early nutrition program including breastfeeding workshops and supports, healthy lifestyle courses, parenting education, introduction of solid foods for infants, child development and cooking classes of infant foods. the investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of this early nutrition program and determine its impacts on breastfeeding, infant growth (by comparing infants' biomarkers and microbiota in different stages) , diet quality and microbiota, as well as the benefits to the postpartum mothers such as reducing the postpartum weight retention so that to generate pilot result and facilitate the up scale study that the investigators proposed in the planned proposal. The ultimate goal is that a long term follow up with the children in this project could also be arranged to determine the long term health effects of this early nutrition program.
