I mostly focus on the mental wellbeing of pregnant mothers (including feelings of stress, anxiety and depression) and underlying biological mechanisms, such as hormonal outcomes. Hereby I am interested how mother\u2019s wellbeing during pregnancy relates to behavioral outcomes, such as early caregiving behavior and mother-baby interactions. Moreover, I am interested in breastmilk and how the mother\u2019s mental wellbeing influences hormones in the mother\u2019s milk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of questions I try to answer are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How does maternal cortisol during pregnancy affect the later behavioral development of the baby?<\/li><li>Does the composition of breastmilk play a role in the later health and cognition of children?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Currently I am mostly working on the SMILEY-project (Study of Microbiota and Lifestyle in the Early Years). In this project I help with the 12 week baby visits in the lab. From December 2021 onwards I will also coordinate these early SMILEY baby visits.
