Abstract

Background and aims: Maternal stress and anxiety during pregnancy and postpartum are risk factors for infant colic and sleep disturbances. L. reuteri DSM17938 (Lr) reduced crying time in colicky infants, whereas B. longum ATCC BAA-999 (Bl) decreased anxiety behaviour in animal models. We aimed at studying the therapeutic effect of both probiotics in an animal model of prenatal restraint stress (PRS), known to display sleep disturbances.
