Mums' Love can Protect Kids Against Illness: Study
Tender love by mothers is the best medicine for kids as it can reduce a person's risk of developing conditions like diabetes, heart disease during adulthood, reveals study.

According to experts, babies have an inborn biological need to be attached to caregivers, and the latest study sought to check out the results when babies spend a night or more per week away from the primary caregiver.

The results pointed out that 43 percent of babies with weekly overnights experienced insecurity over separation from their mothers or primary caregivers as compared to 16 percent with less frequently overnights.

In toddlers, researchers found that greater attachment insecurity was connected to more frequent overnights.

"We would want a child to be attached to both parents, but in the case of separation a child should have at least one good secure attachment. It's about having constant caregivers that's important."
