Published Technique restores healthy bacterial balance in C-section babies
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Newborns delivered by cesarean section who are swabbed with the vaginal fluid of their mothers after birth have beneficial bacteria restored to their skin surface and stools, according to a new study. In the first randomized study of its kind, a team of researchers found the process, known as vaginal seeding, definitively engrafted new strains of maternal bacteria in the babies' bodies.
Published Poor air quality linked to cognitive problems in babies
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source New research shows that poor air quality could be causing cognitive problems in babies and toddlers. A new study reveals an association between poor air quality in India and impaired cognition in infants under two. Without action, the negative impact on children's long-term brain development could have consequences for life.
Published Impact of maternal stress during pregnancy on child's health
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source New research examines the impact that maternal stress during pregnancy has on the neuro-development of babies.
Published Drinking alcohol while breastfeeding impacts health of newborns
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source What are the consequences of mothers consuming alcohol while breastfeeding? A research team at the University of California, Riverside, performed a mouse study to find out.
Published Early signs that may help predict ADHD risk
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Information available at birth may help to identify children with higher likelihood of developing ADHD, according to new research.
Published Select cells 'home in on the skin like guided missiles' at birth to enhance immunity
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Like deployment of an elite fighting team, localization of certain T cells to the skin is important at birth and for lifelong immunity, according to new research.
Published Healing the unhealable: New approach helps bones mend themselves
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Young babies and newborn mice can naturally heal damage to the bones that form the top of the skull, but this ability is lost in adults. Researchers developed a novel approach that promoted bone regeneration in mice without implantation of bone tissue or biomaterials.
Published Father's alcohol consumption before conception linked to brain and facial defects in offspring
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Research investigating fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) exclusively examines maternal alcohol exposure. However, because men drink more and are more likely to binge drink than women, scientists set out to challenge the existing dogma, using a mouse model to examine what happens when the mother, father and both parents consume alcohol.
Published Living with pet cats or dogs is associated with fewer food allergies in young children, study finds
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source In an analysis of over 65,000 infants from Japan, children exposed to pet cats or indoor dogs during fetal development or early infancy tended to have fewer food allergies compared to other children.

Published Preterm babies do not habituate to repeated pain
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Preterm infants do not get used to repeated pain in the way that full-term infants, children and adults do habituate to pain, finds a new study.
Published Global maternal Strep B vaccination program could save millions and prevent thousands of deaths worldwide
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A global maternal immunization program for group B Streptococcus -- strep B -- would save millions in healthcare costs by reducing death and disability, but without tiered pricing, equitable access would likely not be achieved. Several vaccines are currently under development, and an assessment of the impact and value of a global program has now been published.
Published New stem cell model developed for research into a life-threatening malformation of the newborn lung
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is one of the deadliest birth defects. To better understand and treat this condition in the future, researchers designed a new cell model in the laboratory and tested a drug therapy on it.
Published Whether born naturally or via Cesarean section, babies receive essential microbes from their mothers
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Do cesarean-born babies miss out on essential microbes? New evidence suggests that the answer may be 'no.' Researchers report that mothers are able to transfer microbes to their babies via alternative, compensatory routes. While cesarean-born babies do receive less of their mother's gut microbiome during birth, they make up for this by drinking their mother's microbes in breastmilk.
Published Respiratory disease in early childhood linked to higher risk of early death in adulthood
