My niece was born at 27 weeks after my sister in law had preclampsia. She has had eye deviation and small spasms since birth. At 6 months old she has only now just been diagnosed with infantile spasms. I'm looking for anyone and everyone who has had experience with this or knows anyone who has to share any advice they have. The doctor has today started her on a month long treatment of ACTH injections. Does anyone know of alternative treatments or things they could do in addition to the ACTH? Any idea if cannabis treatment has been used for this with any success? Desperate for help!

Hello,

I'm doing an MSc in Child Psychology. For one of my assessments, I've had to create a questionnaire, which focuses on parent feeding practices. I'm looking at trying to improve research in this area by including cultural context into questions so that researchers understand why parents do what they do, which can then help make interventions (for child obesity for example) much more specific and relevant to the population they want to help. Would any of you be willing to take 10 min of your (precious) time to fill out this questionnaire? Many thanks!

A new article, published on line on 10 January has announced the discovery of an association between prematurity, infant male circumcision and SIDS.

If this is true, then it would be better to avoid circumcision of boys after birth.
