This study investigated the relationship reported by Broussard and Hartner that mothers' perceptions of their infants at 1 month of age were predictive of social-emotional development at 4 1/2 years of age. The subjects for this replication study were 50 Caucasian children who were part of a longitudinal study in which maternal perception scores had been obtained at 1 month. When the children reached 4 1/2 years of age it became possible to undertake the emotional assessment. This was done during a 50-min free-play and interview session conducted by a child psychiatrist who used the same materials and procedures as in the Broussard and Hartner study. The results were that 33% of the children were identified as having problems but the relationship between problems and earlier maternal perception could not be demonstrated. The Neonatal Perception Inventory has the potential for being a very useful aid in working with new mothers, but its value as a predictor of later emotional problems is not substantiated by this study.

Lateralization of Neural Speech Discrimination at Birth Is a Predictor for Later Language Development.
Dev Sci

Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Comprehensive Center for Pediatrics, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Newborns are able to neurally discriminate between speech and nonspeech right after birth. To date it remains unknown whether this early speech discrimination and the underlying neural language network is associated with later language development. Preterm-born children are an interesting cohort to investigate this relationship, as previous studies have shown that preterm-born neonates exhibit alterations of speech processing and have a greater risk of later language deficits.

Human brain evolution is marked by a disproportionate expansion of cortical regions associated with advanced perceptual and cognitive functions. While this expansion is often attributed to the emergence of novel specialized brain areas, modifications to evolutionarily conserved cortical regions also have been linked to species-specific behaviors. Distinguishing between these two evolutionary outcomes has been limited by the ability to make direct comparisons between species.

BMJ Open Ophthalmol

Ophthalmology, Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow, UK.
Background: Very premature infants screened for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) that do not develop ROP still experience serious visual developmental challenges, and while it is recommended that all children in the UK are offered preschool visual screening, we aimed to explore whether this vulnerable group requires dedicated follow-up.
Methods: We performed a real-world retrospective observational cohort study of children previously screened for ROP in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (Scotland) between 2013 and 2015. We excluded those with any severity of ROP identified during screening.

Background: The use of Complementary Medicine Products (CMPs) has been increasing worldwide, including among breastfeeding mothers. This study aims to investigate the reasons and associated factors of CMP use among breastfeeding mothers in Turkey, alongside their attitudes and experiences.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered, anonymous online survey between 17 December 2023 and 17 March 2024.
Model to explain dental visit for children aged 0 to 5: Scoping review of birth cohorts.

Introduction: Health services accessibility is a multidimensional concept. An early-life dental visit could improve child dental health. Through birth cohorts, it is possible to identify health conditions and pathways of exposure that occur earlier in life.
