Baby's first stool can alert doctors to future cognitive issues

A newborn's first stool can signal the child may struggle with persistent cognitive problems, according to Case Western Reserve University Project Newborn researchers.

In particular, high levels of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) found in the meconium (a newborn's first stool) from a mother's alcohol use during pregnancy can alert doctors that a child is at risk for problems with intelligence and reasoning.

Left untreated, such problems persist into the teen years, the research team from the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences found.

"We wanted to see if there was a connection between FAEE level and their cognitive development during childhood and adolescence--and there was," said Meeyoung O. Min, PhD, research assistant professor at the Mandel School and the study's lead researcher. "FAEE can serve as a marker for fetal alcohol exposure and developmental issues ahead."
