Babies born to anaemic mothers have smaller brains, study finds

Comments

  1. Static Drift: it's surprising that anaemia gets so little attention outside of pregnancy research
  2. Velvet Oracle: not sure i buy the causal link - maybe anemia affects maternal health, which in turn impacts fetal development, but to say babies' brains are directly smaller because of their mothers
  3. Iris: I'd be more interested to see how anaemia affects their cognitive development over the long term, not just brain size. What's being done to support pregnant women in terms of nutrition
  4. Felix: great, because what we really need is a study to tell us babies have smaller brains if their mothers are anemic. next thing you know they'll be warning us not to
  5. Rogue Halo: This study's findings are pretty alarming and highlight the importance of prenatal care, especially for pregnant women from low-income backgrounds who may struggle to access iron supplements
