New Study: How #breastfeeding affects learning development. Exclusively breastfed children are approx 20% less likely to have special educational needs compared to formula-fed infants. My new blog-article >>> bit.ly/toniharman70

New study: Babies born by C-section receive fewer beneficial microbes from their mother’s vagina and gut... but babies can still acquire mother's beneficial microbes via other routes.... like from #breastfeeding. My new blog-post >>> bit.ly/toniharman67 #microbiome #parenting

A new study from Japan finds that babies and toddlers are more likely to sleep for 10 hours or longer if their mothers ate fermented foods (like cheese and miso soup) during pregnancy. My new blog-post>>> bit.ly/toniharman48 #pregnancy #microbiome #guthealth #infanthealth

New study: If a baby is exposed to air pollution in the first 6 months, this can impact the baby’s gut #microbiome. But there are simple steps to reduce risks — including #breastfeeding for as long as possible. >bit.ly/toniharman47

Really interesting study on preterm milk source and gut microbiome colonization. Mother’s own milk vs donor milk quite different…

Great session today at #DOHaD2022! Thanks @MAMALab_MSVU & Nurul Husna (and @Mammals_Suck & @lizljohnson in spirit) - loved learning about your research on infant feeding responsiveness and relaxation techniques and impacts for #breastfeeding moms...

Poss especially helpful for parents of #preterm babies, or parents struggling to #breastfeed, or anyone looking to use #donormilk. bit.ly/2R3TI7f #breastfeeding #lactation

@ibreastfeed Ahhh thank you so much @ibreastfeed - that is great to hear that you like the free mini-course! microbirth.teachable.com/p/specialinfan…

Thanks to @oneworldbirth for this FREE mini-course for parents, practitioners & educators about the infant microbiome plus access to a very informative blog & digest of articles #breastfeeding microbirth.teachable.com/p/specialinfan…

youtu.be/XdiUiC9iUP0 A short film (7mins) about language in the birth room. @all4maternity @TPM_Journal @deepasanthosh @MollytheMidwife @sheena_byrom @millihill @Prof_AmyBrown @IolantheMidwife @leanne_artist @oneworldbirth @BritMWinIndia @cornwallmidwife @PlymouthRhi

Really good info for #childbirtheducation classes! New #research finds that with #CS, a #newborn baby can really benefit from having immediate #skin2skin with the father (or partner). >>> bit.ly/3a8X4fD

I love this new research on tandem #breastfeeding - suggests #breastmilk adapts to the nutritional requirements of both newborn and older children >>> bit.ly/3p8Dfta

Want to catch up on the latest #breastfeeding research? Simple! I’ve created a super digest of 12 blog-articles summarising recent papers on the science of #breastmilk. >>> bit.ly/2Ou2w4D

@Prof_AmyBrown @HEFCW @DrAimeeGrant @HumanandHealth @SwanseaUni Brilliant news. Many congratulations! Sounds a fantastic project!

Good news in the midst! We received funding from @HEFCW to develop our new research centre 'LIFT' (Lactation, Infant Feeding & Translation). It included funding for a senior research officer & we are very excited @DrAimeeGrant is joining us next month @HumanandHealth @SwanseaUni

The inaccuracy of measures of breastfeeding in research remains a strange issue. Can we have some standard definitions or at least involve people who know what needs measuring? professoramybrown.co.uk/articles/f/the…

Did you know: Only 38.5% of US women know that #breastfeeding reduces the mother's risk of breast cancer. Read more on our blog: bit.ly/2Z6dEq8 #lactation #breastfed #breastcancer
