Influence of Maternal Genetic Information and Type of Feeding on the Reproductive Health of the Child.

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: A child's reproductive health is shaped by a complex interplay of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors acting from the preconception period through early postnatal development. Particular importance is attributed to maternal health during pregnancy and infant nutrition during the first months of life. The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) concept identifies the prenatal and early postnatal periods as critical developmental windows during which metabolic and endocrine programming occurs. Growing evidence suggests that breastfeeding plays a significant role in promoting favorable metabolic and reproductive outcomes. This review aims to analyze current scientific evidence regarding the influence of maternal genetic and epigenetic factors, as well as feeding type, on the development of reproductive health in offspring.
