They found high adiponectin levels in the cord blood of those babies with fetal malnutrition.

Another article describes different allergens in children and their frequency.

In this issue, there is a study which aims to compare the effects of breastfeeding and kangaroo mother care on pain levels and physiological changes associated with the hepatitis B vaccine injection in neonates.
