Children who are breastfed for longer periods of time during infancy experience fewer developmental delays and a reduced risk of neurodevelopmental conditions - a study finds. Benefits were most significant for language and social development, with premature babies showing even greater improvements than full-term infants.

Discover the impact of breastfeeding on child development. Exclusive breastfeeding significantly lowers developmental delays.

Preterm babies are fragile. Studying this vulnerable population is challenging because standard tests—such as blood draws—can be life-threatening for these small patients who have too little blood to support the amount needed in standard assays. That's starting to change. New methodology developed at Yale School of Medicine (YSM), combined with techniques that analyze multiple types of molecular information, is allowing researchers to more safely gain insight into the immune systems of extremely preterm babies.

Preterm babies are fragile. This is especially true for infants born just six to seven months into a pregnancy. Called extremely preterm infants, these children essentially finish developing outside the uterus. Studying this vulnerable population is challenging because standard tests—such as blood...

A study has found microplastic and nanoplastic pollution to be significantly higher in placentas from premature births than in those from full-term births.

Tiny plastic pollution more than 50% higher in placentas from preterm births than in those from full-term births

New research found that compared to taking only folic acid and iron, expectant mothers who took multiple micronutrient supplements had a 27% lower risk of giving birth to “small vulnerable newborn types.” These include babies born preterm, with low birth weight, or small for their gestational age — three conditions strongly linked to infant mortality.

New research shows that prenatal multiple micronutrient supplements can cut the risk of babies being born too small or too early by 27%. Unlike traditional prenatal care, which focuses on iron and folic acid alone, this study highlights the importance of a broader nutrient profile to support feta
