Healthy Mediterranean-Style Diet During Pregnancy Linked to Reduced Infant Colic and Eczema Risk

A new study by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston Children's Hospital, and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute suggests that infants born to mothers who followed a healthy, Mediterranean-style diet during pregnancy had a lower risk of developing colic and eczema. The study, which recruited over 1,300 pregnant women, found that a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and healthy fats was associated with these reduced risks.
