🚨Our recent work is just out @CellRepMed🚨. We show that breastfeeding women receiving COVID-19 mRNA vaccines transfer to breast milk spike-reactive T cells in addition of antibodies 1/n. @nova_medschool @NOVAunl, @COLifeScience @IGCiencia @itqbunl

It could be several months before there’s more conclusive information on the vaccines and pregnant women.

Still, scientists say the studies are a good starting point, especially combined with observational data from the vaccine rollout so far.

Our paper on prehistoric baby bottles found in European child graves which contain ruminant animal milk published in Nature today. They often come in the form of imaginary animals. How cute are these! @ogu_bristol @BristolUni

"Children who are breastfed appear to be at a lower risk for obesity later in life. One explanation is that breast milk may somehow prevent the premature transition from beige adipose tissue (BeAT) to white adipose tissue during childhood and adolescence." https://t.co/FE2igYYn3l

Our @AMJPublicHealth study w/ @lschoen3018 of parental leave, lactation & childcare policies at top schools of public health finds many fall short of national recommendations, despite widespread recognition of health benefits.

It's no wonder that late pre-term infants (previously referred to as near-term) struggle with #breastfeeding when you see how much neurological development that occurs in the last five weeks of gestation. The #brain grows approx 50% larger in this time. (https://t.co/EZIbGUvmsv)

Do breastfeeding supplements work? It's hard to say unequivocally because so little research has been dedicated to this subject or maternal care more generally. We need to do better! #breastfeeding #breastmilk #momlife
