Di Prete et al. (2025) studied complementary feeding (parent-led vs. baby-led weaning) & maternal comm in 12mos. Both methods foster similar communicative envts, tho parent-led weaning involves more maternal instructional talk @ProgettoSpoon #infancypapers https://t.co/ELOSAM8Sko

Tu et al. (2025) studied 9mo infants in Sweden & Zimbabwe via eye-tracking: attention allocation is different in these cultures in infancy, but each culture has a unique dynamic attentional style that includes holistic & analytic components #infancypapers https://t.co/ebyopC5DS8

Micheletti et al. (2025): new research using home observations & wearable sensors shows that when moms hold their crying babies, both moms & babies show vagal withdrawal. Physical touch, not vocalizing, may be key for regulation in the wild #infancypapers https://t.co/p4b0uNBaf8

Meristo et al. (2025): preschool attendance (but not parents' mental state lang & having siblings) showed ⬆️sensitivity to unfair outcomes => early social interactions w/ peers in preschools impt in devt of toddlers' fairness expectations #infancypapers https://t.co/zVyV1w2zkw

Dinzinger et al. (2025) show how maternal smartphone use affects mother–infant interaction, behavior, and autonomic arousal. Even short periods of phone use disturb interactions and lead to infant distress. #infancypapers https://t.co/EdY5fHfrP8
