Balancing immune protection and emotion regulation
Background: Infant temperament changes during the first year of life, reflecting developmental changes in brain structure and function. Brain development is shaped by the immune system, which in infants is influenced by bioactive components present in breast milk. Objective: This study examined the association between immunoactive factors in breast milk and the development of infant temperament during the first year of life. Subjects and methods:…
The Concentration of Docosahexaenoic Acid ( DHA ) and Arachidonic Acid ( AA ) in Human Milk Is Associated With the Size of Maternal Social Network
INTRODUCTION: Social factors, such as kin and non-kin support in helping the mother of a newborn baby, impact the duration of lactation and may affect human milk composition. Recent studies suggest that maternal stress negatively affects the level of polyunsaturated fatty acids in human milk, which are crucial for infant vision and brain development. We suggest that social support may have the potential to attenuate a negative effect of stress on…
Infant Temperament Is Associated With Milk Cortisol but Not With Maternal Childhood Trauma
Previous studies have suggested that maternal childhood trauma (MCT) may influence infant temperament, but the underlying physiological mechanisms remain unclear. This study sought to confirm the involvement of breast milk cortisol in the link between MCT and infant temperament. The study sample included 90 mother–infant dyads recruited from the urban Polish population. MCT was assessed based on the Early Life Stress Questionnaire (ELSQ) and infa…
Breast size in lactating women and the content of macronutrients in human milk
Introduction Although the primary function of a woman's breast is milk synthesis, only a few studies have evaluated the relationship between breast size and human milk composition, showing equivocal results. This study aims to test if breast size during fully established lactation is related to energy density and content of macronutrients in human milk. Materials and Methods Mothers of healthy, born‐on‐term infants at stage III of lactogenesis ( …
Antenatal Classes in the Context of Prenatal Anxiety and Depression during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Perinatal maternal anxiety and depression negatively affect intrauterine fetal development, birth outcome, breastfeeding initiation, duration, and milk composition. Antenatal classes potentially reduce the anxiety of pregnant women and may thus contribute to healthy infant development. The study investigates the relationship between participation in online or in-person antenatal classes and levels of anxiety and depression in Polish women during …
Shifts in Female Facial Attractiveness during Pregnancy
It has been proposed that women's physical attractiveness is a cue to temporal changes in fertility. If this is the case, we should observe shifts in attractiveness during pregnancy-a unique physiological state of temporal infertility. The aim of this study was to examine how women's facial attractiveness changes during the subsequent trimesters of pregnancy and how it compares to that of nonpregnant women. Sixty-six pictures of pregnant women (2…
Traumatized women's infants are bigger than children of mothers without traumas
Life history theory predicts that experiencing stress during the early period of life will result in accelerated growth and earlier maturation. Indeed, animal and some human studies documented a faster pace of growth in the offspring of stressed mothers. Recent advances in epigenetics suggest that the effects of early developmental stress might be passed across the generations. However, evidence for such intergenerational transmission is scarce, …
Association between sexual orientations of individuals and perceptions of tattooed men
We present the results of the first study exploring whether perceptions of tattooed men may be influenced by sexual orientation. We asked heterosexual women (n = 2,436) and men (n = 230), and lesbian women (n = 50) and gay men (n = 60) to rate nine photos of male models with the provisos that at least one image had a digitally added tattoo and participants would not evaluate the same model in both tattooed and non-tattooed versions. Heterosexual …
