Perioperative intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine for alleviating postpartum depression after cesarean section: A meta-analysis and systematic review
Postpartum depression (PPD) is the most common psychiatric disorder in women after delivery, with a prevalence of approximately 10 %-20 % [1]. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) classifies PPD as a subtype of major depressive disorder (MDD) with perinatal episodes, which refers to the period of pregnancy and the four weeks after delivery [2]. Postpartum depression is a serious worldwide public health issue, which not only threatens the physical and mental health of mothers but also affects the growth and development of infants [3,4].

Maternal and household factors affecting the dietary diversity of preschool children in eastern Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study
Conclusions
The dietary diversity of preschool children is extremely low—a pattern observed in both food-secure and food-insecure households. Key factors include maternal selection of food for convenience and ease, preferences that do not include animal protein or healthier food choices, and lack of access to improved drinking water sources. Interventions around maternal food choice and preferences could improve preschool children’s nutritional health. (Source: BMJ Open)

Exposure to prenatal stressors and infant autonomic nervous system regulation of stress
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest potential alterations in development of the vagally mediated baroreflex function as a result of exposure to prenatal stressors, with implications for the infants' ability to generate a resilient recovery in response to stressors.PMID:38497496 | DOI:10.1080/10253890.2024.2327328 (Source: Stress)

The perinatal health secondary to pandemic: association between women's delivery concerns and infant's behavioral problems
CONCLUSION: Perinatal mother-infant health has been sensitively threatened by pandemic consequences with maternal concerns about childbirth in pregnancy being associated with 12 months' children's behavioral outcomes. There is a need to invest in psychological support for perinatal women throughout the transition to parenthood to protect risk conditions before they get chronic or severe and influence offspring development.PMID:38493474 | DOI:10.1080/02646838.2024.2330662 (Source: Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology)

The Mental Health Effects and Experiences of Breastfeeding Decision-Making Among Postpartum Women Living with HIV
AbstractPrior to January 2023, women living with HIV (WLWH) in the United States (US) were discouraged from breastfeeding due to the potential risk of mother-to-child HIV transmission through breastfeeding. Lack of breastfeeding decision-making and experience among WLWH may negatively affect maternal mental health. We implemented a quality improvement initiative to screen WLWH for postpartum depression (PPD), evaluate their attitudes toward breastfeeding, and assess their experience with breastfeeding decision-making. We collected quantitative data from WLWH using a voluntary, self-administered 6-item breastfeeding decisio...

“It was classed as a nonemergency”: Women's experiences of kidney disease and preconception decision‐making, family planning, and parenting in the United Kingdom during COVID‐19
ConclusionSome women in the UK with chronic kidney disease lost or missed their opportunity to have children during the pandemic. Future pandemic planners need to look more holistically and longer term at what is and is not classed as an emergency, both in how services are reconfigured and how people with chronic conditions are identified, communicated with, and treated.
