- Depression and anxiety in pregnant women may be connected to the type of delivery they have, new research suggests.
- A new study shows that functional sperm cells can be made in a dish using primate embryonic stem cells.
- Based on an investigation of nearly 625,000 births in Israel over a five-year period, new study suggests that excessive heat and cold during specific time windows of pregnancy are linked to lower birth weight.
- Clinical decisions made in the delivery setting as to whether to employ vaginal delivery or cesarean section are often made under high pressure, and with great uncertainty, and have serious consequences for mother and baby. Now, a new study of electronic health records spanning 86,000 deliveries suggests that if their prior patient had complications in […]
- Poor timing of influenza vaccination campaigns in the semi-arid region of Brazil led to an increase in premature births, lower birth-weight babies and the need to deliver more babies by cesarean section.
- Researchers compared early preterm infants who were fed breast milk from THC-positive mothers to those who were fed either formula or breast milk from THC-negative mothers and found no differences in short-term health impacts such as breathing difficulties, lung development, and feeding issues.
- Researchers found that breastfeeding mothers who received either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccination reported the same local or systemic symptoms as what has been previously reported in non-breastfeeding women, with no serious side effects in the breastfed infants.
- The breast milk of lactating mothers vaccinated against COVID-19 contains a significant supply of antibodies that may help protect nursing infants from the illness, according to new research.
- More than one-third of infant caregivers reported serving at least one non-recommended milk type to their infant in the past month — most providing them daily — and the majority of toddler caregivers did not follow expert recommendations to provide only cow's milk to their children, according to a new study.
- Babies who were breastfed, even for a few days, had lower blood pressure at 3 years of age than children who had never been breastfed. Toddlers who had been breastfed had lower blood pressure regardless of their body mass index or their mothers' social, health or lifestyle factors.
- Depression and anxiety in pregnant women may be connected to the type of delivery they have, new research suggests.
- Oxygen-deprived newborns who undergo cooling therapy to protect their brains are at an elevated risk of seizures and brain damage during the rewarming period, which could be a precursor of disability or death, a new study suggests. The finding could lead to better ways to protect these vulnerable patients during an often overlooked yet critical […]

- Zebrafish could shed light into the mysteries of the human spinal cord and its influence on our bodyResearchers believe zebrafish may provide clues to understanding how the human nervous system develops since this fish experiences new movements similarly to how babies do after birth. To understand how our nervous system enables us to move and learn new movements such as walking or swimming as we grow, researchers looked closely at the nervous […]
- Want to ensure your child hits their expected developmental milestones? New research suggests living in areas with high exposure to green-space can help set them up for success.
- Epilepsy seizures can be triggered when a natural braking system meant to control brain activity goes awry, researchers found. The discovery could open the door to new treatments.
- Depression and anxiety in pregnant women may be connected to the type of delivery they have, new research suggests.
- When children are overtired, their facial expressions can forecast social problems years later, according to a new report published by a psychologist.
- Very young children learn words at a tremendous rate. Now researchers have seen how specific brain regions activate as two-year-olds remember newly learned words — while the children were sleeping.
- When children are overtired, their facial expressions can forecast social problems years later, according to a new report published by a psychologist.
- Scientists report that children benefited most from 60 hours of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) over four weeks. The study also showed that the intensive therapy did not add stress for families.
- Biologists have found that mother roundworms can pass stress signals to future generations. The biologists report a mother roundworm exposed to a stressor can even under certain conditions pass the memory of that exposure to their grandchildren.
- The incredible stress parents experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the eating habits of their children, according to a new study.
- A new study finds a visit from human-controlled robot encourages a positive outlook and improves medical interactions for hospitalized children.

- A neuroscientist and speech pathologist, led a study that uncovered how neural networks in infants influence their language learning skills in early childhood.
- A new study suggests that unusual visual inspection of objects may precede the development of the social symptoms that are characteristic of autism syndrome disorder.
