In j ngster Zeit haben eine Reihe von wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und die darauf folgende Medienberichterstattung die Vorstellung, dass der F tus und die Schwangerschaft durch eine Konstellation von m tterlichen Indikatoren f r psychische Belastungen, einschlie lich Stress, Angst und Depression, gef hrdet sind, st rker ins wissenschaftliche und ffentliche Bewusstsein ger ckt. Um zu verstehen, wie sich pr nataler m tterlicher Stress auf den sich entwickelnden F tus auswirken kann, ist ein gewisses Wissen ber die Biologie der Stressreaktion erforderlich. Die Reaktion auf Stress betrifft eine Reihe von Organen und Systemen im K rper, vom Gehirn bis zu spezialisierten Organen wie den Nebennieren, die an die Nieren angrenzen. Das Buch gibt einen Einblick, wie das Gef hlsleben der schwangeren Frau die Entwicklung ihres F tus beeinflusst.

Pi di recente, l'aggregazione di prove scientifiche e la conseguente copertura mediatica hanno fatto s che l'idea che il feto e la gravidanza siano messi in pericolo da una costellazione di indicatori materni di disagio psicologico, tra cui lo stress, l'ansia e la depressione, diventasse un elemento di consapevolezza accademica e pubblica. Per capire come lo stress materno prenatale possa influire sul feto in via di sviluppo necessario conoscere la biologia della risposta allo stress. La risposta allo stress coinvolge una serie di organi e sistemi all'interno del corpo, dal cervello a organi specializzati, come le ghiandole surrenali, adiacenti ai reni. Il libro illustra come la vita emotiva della donna incinta influenzi lo sviluppo del feto.

This book is about breast feeding and cognitive development. It deals with the importance of breast feeding, short term and long term duration of breast feeding, nutritional factors of breast milk, breast milk and infant formulas, its effect on a child's cognitive and psychological as well as psychobiological development. Many scientific pieces of evidence suggest that breast feeding has a crucial role in a child's cognitive development, academic achievement, and scholastic abilities. Breast milk constituents promote healthy neural growth and white matter structure in the brain and cognitive performance. Breast feeding advanced neurological development resulting in improved cognitive performance which in turn supported upward social mobility and protected against downward social mobility. It also improves premature infant's attention and arousal regulation, leading to improved cognitive development. The booklet on 'Breast Feeding and Cognitive Development' will help in improving the knowledge and understanding of the importance of breast feeding and its effect on the child. It is hoped that the book helps the parents and family members to reduce ignorance towards breast feeding.
