Hormones in newborns: Like adults, babies have hormones that play crucial roles in their growth and development. Hormones such as insulin, growth hormone, thyroid hormone, and sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone) are present in varying levels in infants. These hormones help regulate various bodily functions, including metabolism, bone growth, and sexual development (although the latter is not prominent until puberty).
Hormones during pregnancy: When discussing “baby hormones” during pregnancy, it typically refers to the hormones involved in the development and maintenance of the pregnancy. Hormones such as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), progesterone, and estrogen are important for supporting pregnancy, ensuring proper fetal development, and preparing the mother’s body for childbirth.
