Moms who stop smoking have happier babies: Researchers believe women who quit are also more caring in other ways
From Reuters:
Mothers who stop smoking while pregnant tend to have cheerier, more adaptable babies, British researchers reported on Wednesday.
Babies of women who continued to smoke while pregnant were notably grumpy, and the researchers believe that mothers who can muster the effort to kick the habit are also caring more for their babies in other ways.
Babies of non-smokers also more temperamental than babies born to quitters, the researchers found — which they said suggested that mothers who suspend smoking are doing something special.
