Mom’s Weight & Kids’ Infection Risk? Whoa!

Wild new study alert: kids born to moms who were severely obese during pregnancy are way more likely to end up in the hospital with serious infections—even into their teen years. We’re talking a 41% higher risk for babies under 1, and a 53% jump for kids aged 5-15! Most of these are respiratory or stomach bugs. Researchers say helping women reach a healthy weight before pregnancy could really help future kiddos stay healthier. Food for thought! #ParentingNews #HealthFacts #Pregnancy #Health
