Canadian Study Finds Low Vitamin D Levels in Pregnant Women Could Cause Cavities for Their Babies
Expecting women need vitamin D to keep their bones strong and their developing babies healthy. A new study shed a different light on the sunshine vitamin, as the post explains vitamin D deficiency could lead to cavities in babies. Canadian researchers measured the vitamin D levels of over 200 pregnant women. Researchers found 90% of the mothers to be were deficient in vitamin D, which in turn led to cavities by 16 months of age for 135 of the babies.
Greek Study Finds Children May Build Tolerance to Egg Allergies
The Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology reports that 1 in 17 children suffers from a food allergy; hen’s eggs being the most common. Eggs are ubiquitous in the food supply, particularly baked goods, making coping with this food allergy no easy task. Mum Mum’s reveals new research found overcoming egg allergies might actually become a piece of cake.
Greek researchers consistently fed 94 children with egg allergies small pieces of a special cake containing eggs. By gradually increasing amounts of cake, the study found 90% of the children were able to eat the larger cake portion without an allergic reaction. The fact that the eggs were cooked might provide a key factor, as high heat denatures egg proteins. Researchers conclude this is only a preliminary study and another control study in already in the works.
Baby Boom Reaches Record Numbers
Even though the costs of having a baby keep increasing and the economy is sinking, the number of births in the US has reached an all time high. The post highlights the National Center for Health Statistics announcement that more babies were born in 2007 than any other year in US history. This number even exceeds the original baby that peaked around 1957. The new baby boom has historians perplexed as baby booms are typically associated with a flourishing economy. A few plausible explanations for the baby boom include women having babies later in life, the increased number of unmarried mothers, as well as immigration.

《妈妈》博客报导：加拿大的研究发现，孕妇低维生素D含量可能导致其婴儿的牙齿腐坏；希腊研究发现孩子可以慢慢适应鸡蛋过敏；婴儿潮达到了创记录的数字
这篇文章摘录自最近的流行博客《妈妈》，家长们在这里可以找到一切跟婴幼儿有关的信息，还能了解养育孩子时如何把重点放在保健和营养上。
加拿大的研究发现，孕妇低维生素D水平可能导致其婴儿的牙齿腐坏
因为妇女需要维他命D来保持其骨骼强壮，保护她们正成长的宝宝健康。 一项新研究阐明了“阳光”维他命， 正如邮件解释的，维他命D的低摄入量会导致宝宝牙齿腐坏。加拿大研究者测试了超过200名孕妇的维他命D含量。 研究者发现，90%的母亲是维他命D摄入量不足的，这转而导致了135个16个月大的婴儿牙齿腐坏。
希腊研究发现孩子可以慢慢适应鸡蛋过敏
(美国)过敏、哮喘和免疫学科学院报告说，1/17的儿童患有食物过敏，其中，鸡蛋过敏是最常见的。因为在食物供应，尤其是烘焙食物中绝对少不了鸡蛋，所以，要应付这种食物过敏绝非易事。据《妈妈》报导，新的研究发现，解决鸡蛋过敏实际上可能是小菜一碟。希腊的研究者们持续地给94名儿童食用含有鸡蛋的小块特制蛋糕。通过逐步增加蛋糕的数量，研究发现90 ％的儿童能够吃大块的蛋糕而没有过敏反应。鸡蛋被煮熟的事实可能是一个关键因素，因为高温改变了鸡蛋蛋白质的性质。研究人员得出结论，这只是初步研究，而另一项控制研究已经在进程中了。
婴儿潮达到了创记录的数字
尽管抚养婴儿的费用在攀升，经济在消沉，美国的出生人数却已经达到了历史最高水平。《妈妈》强调了国家卫生统计中心所宣布的“在2007年出生的婴儿比美国历史上任何一年还要多。”这个数字甚至超过了1957年左右所达到的高峰。新的婴儿潮使得历史学家们迷惑了，因为它实际上是与欣欣向荣的经济所联系在一起的。一些对于婴儿潮似是而非的解释包括，女性晚育，未婚妈妈的增多，还有移民。
