Figueiredo, Bárbara; Pinto, Tiago Miguel; Pacheco, Alexandra; Field, TiffanyThis study analyzed the mediating role of fetal heart rate variability (FHR) on prenatal depression and neonatal neurobehavioral maturity. A sample of 104 pregnant women was recruited and divided into two groups according to their Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) scores (depressed/non-depressed). FHR variability in response to speech stimuli was assessed at term (between 37 and 39 weeks gestation). T...

This study aimed (1) to describe infant sleep-wake behaviors during the 24-h period, day and night, at two weeks, three, and six months, (2)...

No differences were noted between the depressed and non-depressed mothers. Several breastfeeding versus bottlefeeding group effects were ...
