		<description><![CDATA[A study in the December 1, 2008 issue of the journal Sleep is the first to show that high levels of prenatal smoking exposure strongly modify sleep patterns in preterm neonates, which places infants at a higher risk for developmental difficulties that could persist throughout early and middle childhood.

Results indicate that preterm neonates born to heavy-smoking mothers who smoked more than 10 cigarettes per day displayed disrupted sleep structure and sleep continuity. From 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. they slept almost two hours less than controls who were born to non-smoking mothers, and their sleep was more fragmented. Compared with controls, neonates born to both heavy and low smokers displayed more body movements and, as a result, more disturbed sleep.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2008/top-news/heavy-smoking-in-pregnancy-impacts-sleep-neonates/' addthis:title='Pregnant women who are heavy smokers impact sleep patterns of pre-term neonates '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Contrary to even the recommendations of its own section on breastfeeding, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released an statement from its Task Force on SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine has problems accepting.  Recommendations that advise against parent-infant bed-sharing and support the generic use of pacifiers imply a ``truly astounding triumph of ethnocentric assumptions over commonsense and medical research,'' according to Nancy Wight, M.D., president of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2005/top-news/co-sleeping-and-breastfeeding-guidelines-released/' addthis:title='Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine issues  co-sleeping and breastfeeding guidelines '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>
