| Infants and Young Children Journal Articles | In order to promote further communications among members of ISEI, one article from each issue of the journal, Infants and Young Children (IYC), is posted on the ISEI Website every three months. IYC is an interdisciplinary journal focusing on vulnerable children from birth to five years of age and their families. Of special interest are articles involving innovative interventions, summaries of important research developments and their implications for practice, updates for high priority topic areas, balanced presentations of controversial issues, and articles that address issues involving policy, professional training, new conceptual models, and related matters. | Website |
| Infants Develop Early Understanding of Social Nature of Food | Infants develop expectations about what people prefer to eat, providing early evidence of the social nature through which humans understand food, according to a new study conducted at the University of Chicago. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found infants expect people to share food preferences unless they belong to different social groups. Their understanding changes when it comes to disgust toward a food, with infants expecting such reactions to transcend the boundaries of social groups. Even before infants appear to make smart choices about what substances to ingest, they form nuanced expectations that food preferences are fundamentally linked to social groups and social identity. | Website |
| Infants Have Mental Health Needs, Too | Discussions surrounding mental health often focus on the experiences of adolescents and adults, leading many to believe that these are the only people in our community affected by emotional concerns. We rarely consider the mental health of infants and young children because after all, what could these little ones with their relatively uncomplicated lives possibly be upset about? This resource comes from the Mayo Clinic Health System. | Website |

| Is homemade baby food healthier for infants? | Babies who get homemade food may learn to like a wider variety of food types and be leaner than infants who eat store-bought products, a recent study suggests. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life and then advises mothers to keep nursing while starting to introduce solid foods. For the current study, researchers examined whether the source of food (homemade or commercial) influences variety, infant growth, and weight. They found babies who only ate homemade foods had more diverse diets earlier in life and lower body fat mass when they were 1 year and 3 years old. | Website |
