MORA, Auteur ; M. Guillermo HERRERA, Auteur Année de publication : 1980 Article en page(s) : p.61-71 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Pregnant women at risk of malnutrition were enrolled in a health care programme in Colombia, South America, and were randomly assigned to a group receiving supplementary food or to a control group at the beginning of the third trimester of pregnancy. There were no differences between the groups in social or nutritional variables. Supplementary food was found to have an effect on infants' reactions to mild aversive stimulation and their degree of irritability. Infants born to non-supplemented mothers generally responded more irritably to removal of a nipple and to the application of a cold disc to the abdomen. Female infants of non-supplemented mothers also recovered more slowly than the supplemented group from crying in response to both removal of nipple and the cold disc. The findings are believed to show a maturational effect of maternal diet during the last trimester of pregnancy.
