Purpose Of Review: The aim of this systematic review is to assess the relationship between two complementary feeding features (diet quality and feeding approach) and some aspects of infant development (cognitive development, social cognition, and language).
Recent Findings: Recent reviews have explored many aspects of complementary feeding, such as the age at which first foods are introduced, child's micronutrient status, weight and health outcomes. However, there appears to be a knowledge gap in two areas that are potentially relevant for developing a healthy diet: the quality of the diet and the type of complementary feeding approach. Furthermore, reviews on complementary feeding tends to rely heavily on research from Western countries (also known as WEIRD countries), failing to provide a global perspective on infant development. Positive significant relationships were found between diet quality and (i) cognitive development (five studies), (ii) language development (six studies), (iii) social cognition (three studies), (iv) general development (six studies), and between approach and language development (two studies). Although a substantial number of findings suggest a significant relationship between diet quality and child development (20), some findings were non-significant (17), signaling that more research is needed in this field.

Background: As one of the most destructive and invasive pests for various plants in China, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) poses an enormous threat to food security and results in serious economic losses for harvesting and consumption of agricultural vegetables. To this end, indoxacarb has shown great promise as an effective insecticide against Spodoptera frugiperda. It is metabolized by insect esterases or amidases into the N-decarbomethoxy metabolite (DCJW), which is a key metabolite responsible for the insecticidal activity of indoxacarb.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of a multidisciplinary tube-weaning program.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled children with feeding tube dependency who had not responded to standard tube-weaning interventions. All participants underwent a structured two-week multidisciplinary tube weaning delivered in a day-hospital setting at the Children's Hospital Zagreb in the period from August 2016 to February 2023.
Commercially processed complementary foods (CPCFs) are consumed in Kenya, but little is known about caregiver perceptions and reasons for their consumption. We explored caregiver perceptions, motivations and reasons for purchasing CPCFs. This cross-sectional mixed-methods study was conducted in Nairobi among caregivers of children aged 6-23 months.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between women's fecundability and postpartum breastfeeding.
Methods: We used a prospective cohort study design to recruit pregnant women who came to the hospital for antenatal checkups before 20 weeks' gestation between April 2019 and March 2020 at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Gulou District, Nanjing, China. Women were categorized into prolonged time to pregnancy (TTP) group (>3 months) and shorten TTP (≤3 months) groups.

Background: Maternal diet during pregnancy plays a critical role in shaping infant immune development, potentially influencing the risk of atopic dermatitis. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study examined the association between maternal dietary diversity during pregnancy and the incidence of atopic dermatitis in early childhood and explored the potential mediating role of the infant gut microbiome.
