Why Breastfed Babies Have Improved Immune Development — New Findings
(Gergely Toldi) Life outside the womb is tough – not least because of the many bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can harm a baby. Not only does a baby’s immune system need to be able to recognise and eliminate pathogens, it also needs to be able to distinguish harmless substances and helpful bacteria important for health – such as those in our gut microbiome, which help break down foods and protect us from pathogens.
Mother/Infant Skin-To-Skin Touch Boosts Baby’s Brain Development and Function
(Science Daily) As the world prioritizes social distancing to stop or slow down the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), a new study by researchers at Florida Atlantic University demonstrates that mother-infant touch and contact are essential for optimal neurodevelopmental regulation in early infancy. Kangaroo Care, a skin-to-skin, chest-to-chest method of caring for a baby, especially one who is premature, has been associated with promoting neurophysiological development. This method of caring emphasizes the importance of holding the naked or partially dressed baby against the bare skin of a parent, typically the mother. New research is showing that extended use of Kangaroo Care can positively benefit full-term infants and their mothers during the post-partum period.
The Baby That Came Back to Life Through Skin to Skin Contact After Being Pronounced Dead
(Joe Martino) Kate Ogg gave birth to twins but to her dread, after one of her newborns struggled to breathe, doctors pronounced him dead. As she held her new son, she and her husband could not believe what had happened. Perhaps in a last attempt to say goodbye, or simply by instinct, she unwrapped her baby and held him against her skin. Her lifeless son – born at 27 weeks weighing 2lb – was lovingly held and cuddled as she expressed her love to him while not wanting to let him go. Then something amazing happened.

Study: Why Parents Hold their Babies by Their Left Side
(Exploring Your Mind) A fun fact: a study examined 477 pictures of the Virgin Mary with her child and she’s holding him on her left side in 373. This is consistent with what you see nowadays: babies calm down when they’re held on the left side. That’s why 80% of mothers do it instinctively.
Human Genetic Modification Technology
(Robert Sepehr) Designer babies, anti-aging, and bringing back extinct species. Gene editing, or genetic modification, is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted, modified or replaced in the genome of a living organism. Unlike early genetic engineering techniques that randomly inserts genetic material into a host genome, genome editing targets the insertions to site-specific locations.
