The COVID-19 pandemic, with its far-reaching influence on daily life, constituted a highly stressful experience for many people worldwide, jeopardizing individuals' mental health, particularly in vulnerable populations such as pregnant women. While growing body of evidence links prenatal maternal stress to biological and developmental alterations offspring, the specific impact exposure pandemic-related (PRS) infant development remains unclear. A comprehensive literature search was performed October 2023 according PRISMA guidelines, which yielded total 28 records. selected papers investigated vast range outcomes offspring large methodological variations. reviewed studies showed mixed results.

Postpartum Maternal Stress is Unrelated to the Infant Fecal Microbiome, but is Associated With the Human Milk Microbiome in Exclusively Breastfeeding Mother‐Infant Dyads: The Mother‐Infant Microbiomes, Behavior, and Ecology Study (MIMBES)

Infant regulatory problems and the quality of dyadic emotional connection—a proof-of-concept study in a multilingual sample

Background and aims Close autonomic emotional connections with others help infants reach maintain homoeostasis. In recent years, infant regulatory problems (RPs, i.e., crying, sleeping, feeding or eating problems) have surged. This study has two aims: (1) Provide proof-of-concept that dyadic connection between parents can be reliably assessed a brief screening, irrespective of language culture. (2) Assess in heterogeneous pilot sample whether the persistence RPs during infancy is negatively associated quality connection. Methods 30 children aged 3–68 months (47% female) their (83% mothers) were regular neonatal follow-up visits Germany. Seven (23%) dyads immigrants whose primary was not German. At each assessment, paediatricians asked about infant's problems. Dyadic interactions rated by multilingual team standardised universal Welch Emotional Connection Screen (uWECS) on four dimensions (attraction, vocalisation, facial communication, sensitivity/reciprocity). Results Aim 1: An international raters trained remotely to rate uWECS. Reliability α > .90 standard achieved mismatches (i.e., all scored several videos languages they did understand).
