Four large studies were... view more... (2004-01-14)

Authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that current recommendations for early infant nutrition may need to be reviewed-if future research confirms preliminary findings suggesting a link between lower nutrient intake and slower growth of babies born prematurely with better cardiovascular health later in life. The... view more... (2003-03-26)
Prenatal Zinc Supplementation Could Impair Childhood Mental Development
Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET caution that the provision of zinc supplementation to pregnant women in developing countries could impair the early mental development of their children.

Authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that guidelines introduced in the 1980s to help mothers overcome the death of a stillborn child do not appear to reduce symptoms of grief, and may actually traumatise some mothers. Stillbirth occurs in around 0.5% of births in more-developed countries. UK guidelines were changed in... view more... (2002-07-10)
New research reveals mothers need infant feeding information
A systematic literature review of mothers' experiences with bottle-feeding found that while mothers recognize the benefits of breastfeeding, those who bottle-feed with infant formula do not receive adequate information and support from their healthcare providers and thus, ultimately put their baby's health at risk. view more (2009-07-30)
