An American study shows the possible relationship between the depression that the future mother may suffer and the sleeping patterns of the future baby during her first years. Apparently, these problems affect children by altering their sleep patterns and creating problems to reconcile them.
It seems that there is a relationship between hormones resulting from stress, anxiety, etc., with the development of the brain of the future baby, in theory these hormones would be responsible for some babies having more problems than others to sleep properly.
Sleep is a very important factor so that the baby can develop properly and try to perform this function in the most appropriate way should be monitored from the same conception. Problems such as depression in pregnancy should be attempted to ensure that the baby can maintain adequate sleep patterns, as well as to take care of the future mother's health. To reach these conclusions, experts conducted various surveys of 14,000 women with questions related to possible depression or anxiety problems they suffered during their pregnancy. Likewise, they were also asked various questions about the development and sleep habits of their children at different stages, when they were 6, 18 or 30 months old.
The surveys revealed a clear relationship between the most negative sleep patterns of babies and the depressive problems suffered by mothers. Although it is not yet known how to improve the condition of future moms when they suffer from these types of problems and if sleep problems in babies would really be reduced, this research opens up new ways to clarify with more determination why some babies sleep better than others. .
This is a really important investigation that can give the keys to improve, not only the baby's rest, but also that of the parents. There are many problems that depression can create during pregnancy, the one mentioned here is one more.
