Breast Feeding Mom Healthy, Co-Sleeping Not
Breast milk is well-known to contain antibodies and nutrients that play a vital role in a baby’s health. Babies fed with formula rather than breast milk generally have a higher risk for conditions such as asthma, diabetes and obesity. However, moms who decide to breast-feed or co-sleep with their babies are impacting their own health, not just the health of their babies, according to a new study conducted at Northwestern University. The study found that women with the most ideal stress hormone patterns were those who breast-fed their babies but did not sleep in the same bed with them. Women who did the opposite — slept with their babies, but didn’t breast-feed them — had the worst stress hormone patterns. The news could be helpful to new moms looking for ways to reduce stress while providing optimal care for their newborns.

Premature Birth Risk Increases with Almond Oil Use
Women who are pregnant should avoid frequent exposure to certain herbal remedies including almond oil, according to a recent study conducted in Italy into premature birth causes. During the study, pregnant women who applied almond oil to their stomachs frequently doubled their risk of giving birth prematurely in comparison to women who didn’t engage in this practice. Some believe that applying almond oil to the stomach during pregnancy can prevent stretch marks, though little scientific evidence exists to back this notion. The researchers accounted for many factors that could influence birth timing, including smoking habits, drug use, age and whether the mother was carrying multiple babies, in completing their study. Many experts maintain that there is really no way to prevent stretch marks completely.

Exercise for Children: Kids Under 6 Need 3 Hours of Exercise Daily
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention outlines clear recommendations for adults when it comes to getting exercise. They recommend 150 minutes of moderate to intense physical activity per week, as well as engaging in muscle-strengthening activities on at least two days per week. And these are just the basics – the CDC recommends five hours of physical activity each week for even more health benefits. If you think it’s difficult to meet those goals, however, just be thankful you’re not a child. According to guidelines from three different countries, exercise for children under the age of 6 should amount to at least three hours every day. This activity should be spread out throughout the day, according to the researchers behind the guidelines. Getting this much exercise might help prevent childhood obesity.

Inventors Design New Child Proof Bottle for Sprayed Products
Inventors have developed a new spray bottle that could prevent up to 6,000 injuries to children each year. These injuries occur when children gain access to spray bottles containing household cleaners and other chemicals, and accidentally spray the contents onto themselves. Parents would still ultimately be responsible for preventing their children from accessing chemical spray bottles to completely minimize the chance of harm, though the new child proof bottles would go a long way toward preventing accidents. In a move that will have you thinking “why didn’t I come up with that,” the inventors have taken the conventional spray bottle design — which features a forward-facing trigger located under the spray nozzle — and added a second trigger that protrudes from the rear side of the bottle. Both triggers must be depressed simultaneously for the spray bottle to dispense its contents.

FDA Investigating Arsenic Found in Rice
Earlier this year, we reported on the high levels of arsenic found in certain types of foods, particularly those made with brown rice syrup. According to an ongoing investigation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), unsafe arsenic is being found in rice. A recent study by Consumer Reports found the same, with that organization now recommending that individuals limit the amount of rice they consume. The FDA is initially recommending the same thing, though their recommendations lack specificity pending the collection of more data. For now, FDA commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg is advising individuals to consume a balanced diet featuring a wide variety of grains, to both maximize nutrition and minimize the potential impact of eating any food in particular. There are two types of arsenic that could be lurking in your rice.
