“…Further, they reported that while the chemosensory sensations associated with gavage feeding remain a matter of conjecture, it is possible that stimulation of retronasal olfactory epithelium to breast milk odor during gavage feeding could positively influence gavage feeding behavior (Bingham et al, 2003). In a later study, breast milk odor stimulus in gavage‐fed premature infants increased nonnutritive sucking, leading to a shorter time for transition to oral feeding (Bingham et al, 2007).…”

“…The mother’s features, such as her voice and odors, have been learned in utero by the fetus (DeCasper & Fifer, 1980; Mennella, Jagnow, & Beauchamp, 2001; Sullivan et al, 1991; Varendi & Porter, 2001). Specifically, maternal odor elicits head turns toward the source of the odor, attenuation of crying, and an optimization of state and mouthing in the newborn (Bingham, Churchill, & Ashikaga, 2007; Doucet, Soussignan, Sagot, & Schaal, 2009; Marlier et al, 1998; Raimbault, Saliba, & Porter, 2007; Rattaz, Goubet, & Bullinger, 2005; Schaal et al, 2009; Schleidt & Genzel, 1990; Sullivan et al, 1991; Sullivan & Toubas, 1998). …”

Social support can attenuate the behavioral and stress hormone response to threat, a phenomenon called social buffering. The mother’s social buffering of the infant is one of the more robust examples; yet we understand little about the neurobiology. Using a rodent model, we explore the neurobiology of social buffering by assessing neural processing of the maternal odor, a major cue controlling social buffering in rat pups. We used pups before (postnatal day (PN) 7) and after (PN14, PN23) the functional emergence of social buffering. Pups were injected with 14C 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) and presented with the maternal odor, a control preferred odor incapable of social buffering (acetophenone), or no odor. Brains were removed, processed for autoradiography and brain areas identified as important in adult social buffering were assessed, including the amygdala basolateral complex (Basolateral Amygdala [BLA]), medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Results suggest dramatic changes in the processing of maternal odor. PN7 pups show mPFC and ACC activation, although PN14 pups showed no activation of the mPFC, ACC, or BLA. All brain areas assessed were recruited by PN23. Additional analysis suggests substantial changes in functional connectivity across development. Together, these results imply complex nonlinear transitions in the neurobiology of social buffering in early life that may provide insight into the changing role of the mother in supporting social buffering.

“…Deciding how to make use of findings from basic research in pediatric practice, however, can be a challenging task. The newborns' preference for their mother's smell, for example, has been successfully used to facilitate breastfeeding in both pre-and full-term babies 79,80 . Likely, there is no harm to mother or newborn in this practice, and the advantages of breastfeeding for both mother and newborn are well known 81 .…”

The bonding and early life attachment between the infant and caregiver is a dynamic, bidirectional process involving caregiver nurturing of the infant, as well as complementary infant behavior that elicits parental care. Attachment appears to have a dual function. The first function is to ensure the infant remains close to the caregiver in order to receive necessary care for survival. Interestingly, animal research has shown that both nurturing and painful stimuli associated with the caregiver support attachment. Secondly, the quality of attachment and its associated sensory stimuli organize the brain to define the infant's cognitive and emotional development. Specifically, the patterning and quality of care regulate the infant's brain function and behavioral expression that determines long-term emotional regulation. These issues, presented within an historical view of infant attachment, highlight the importance of integrating human and animal research in understanding infant care.
