The psyche of any individual is a product of their genetic makeup, environmental factors, emotional and behavioural parameters. Each of these plays a part in programming the emotional and behavioural responses of a baby. Hence, any peace-inducing practice that can be undertaken by pregnant women should be prioritised. It will enhance the quality of life of her baby for sure, while also bringing stability to her mind. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AGAINST<\/strong><br><strong>Genetics call the shots&nbsp;<\/strong><br>The mental health of a child is not necessarily dependent on the mental health of the mother carrying it in her womb. There are also those women who are not mentally distressed who give birth to babies who are mentally unstable. An important deciding factor is a stress that the baby receives during labour. Sometimes prolonged labour of the mother can cause cerebral hypoxia in the child, which can also lead to a developmental delay. Proper nutrition is important as malnourished women are at a higher risk of giving birth to a retarded child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wockhardthospitals.com\/doctor\/dr-indrani-rahul-salunkhe\/\">Dr Indrani Salunkhe <\/a><br>Consultant&nbsp;Gynaecologist, <br>Wockhardt Hospitals,&nbsp;Mumbai Central<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indulgexpress.com\/msociety\/2022\/mar\/27\/how-mothers-mindfulness-impacts-child-39845.html\">https:\/\/www.indulgexpress.com\/msociety\/2022\/mar\/27\/how-mothers-mindfulness-impacts-child-39845.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mother mindfulness programs improve stress response in infants, a study by The University of California, San Francisco, USA Name of study: Mother mindfulness programmes improve stress response in infants By who and where: University of California, San Francisco, USA What does it say? \u2725 It has been found that mindfulness&nbsp;programmes reduce depression and stress&nbsp;among pregnant <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51340,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[125],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-women-health"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How Mother\u2019s Mindfulness Impacts Child - International Wockhardt Hospitals<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Mindfulness helps both the expecting mother and her unborn child.
