But you can't be in control of an infant.
Parents admitted it was grandparents' prerogative to indulge their grandchild but when this extended to family mealtimes they reported feeling they had lost control of their infant's diet.
Compared with unsupplemented controls, supplementation of infant formula with B lactis had no effect on weight gain [4 RCTs, n = 266, mean difference (MD) 0.96 g/day, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.70 to 2.63)], length gain (4 RCTs, n = 261, MD −0.39 mm/month, 95% CI −1.32 to 0.53), or head circumference gain (3 RCTs, n = 207, MD 0.56 mm/month, 95% CI −0.17 to 1.30).
The study compared the heart rate and blood pressure control of 19 infants born to nonsmokers with those of 17 infants whose mothers reported smoking an average of 15 cigarettes per day before and after giving birth.
We compared macrosomic infants (4000-4499 g, 4500-4999 g, and >5000 g infants) with a normosomic control group of infants who weighed 3000 to 3999 g.
To compare the pulmonary clinical course and outcome of very preterm infants (gestational age 25 32 weeks) with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) who started with ENCPAP and failed (ECF group), with a control group of infants matched for gestational age, who were directly intubated in the delivery room (DRI group).
A control group of infants was recruited during routine visits to family health clinics in our catchment area.
However, we felt that it would be unethical and unjustified to expose an additional control group of infants to scintigraphy, particularly since several historical scintigraphic studies are available.
A control group of infants who were primarily breast-fed on hospital discharge, and some co-twins supplemented the two interventional cohorts.
A control group of infants born at term will also be recruited in the neonatal period to allow comparison in outcomes and to provide a local reference group.
