One of the significant reasons for respiratory infections is poor lifestyle choices. Here's how to avoid it.

Skin-to-skin contact is key to improving survival of premature and small babies, the WHO said on Tuesday in a major overhaul of policy that previously called for the use of incubators.

London: Babies born prematurely run a higher risk of heart failure during childhood and adolescence than those born at full term, says a study. “We found that the risk of heart failure was higher for individuals born preterm, and inversely correlated with duration of pregnancy, in that the earlier you’re born, the greater the risk,” said stud...

Breast-feeding not only protects babies from premature deaths and serious diseases but also mothers from breast cancer and heart attacks, among others, suggests a study.

Babies born prematurely are at an increased risk of having brittle bones in adulthood, says a new study adding that low birth weight may also raise the risk of osteoporosis.

Short mothers are twice as likely to give birth to a premature baby than tall moms, a new study has claimed.
