Manuscript 1 explored whether cultural influences were associated w ith achievement of the World Health Organization infant feeding recommenda tions and if these cultural practices served as moderators of the relation ship between breastfeeding practices and infant weight-for-age. Manuscript 2 compared mothers with SCM (breast milk Na/K ratio >0.6) and without SCM for selected factors and practices and evaluated if SCM increased the lik elihood of infant stunting\, underweight and microcephaly in a cross secti onal study. Manuscript 3 explored the prevalence and determinants of SCM a t 0-6 wks (early) and 4-6 mo (established) in a longitudinal cohort of mot hers and investigated the contribution of infection\, inflammation\, mamma ry gland permeability\, and growth factors present in milk to infant WAZ\, LAZ\, and HCZ at both stages of lactation.\n\nEveryone in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø comm unity is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense.
