Acetaminophen use during pregnancy is associated with neurobehavioral problems in 3-year-old offspring - PsyPost

The study, published in the journal PLOS One, found that children exposed to acetaminophen in utero exhibited higher sleep and attention problems at age 3.

“Acetaminophen use is associated with attention and sleep problems at 36 months of age even after we took into account other variables such as factors surrounding delivery and maternal stress,” Sznajder told PsyPost.

Of all the factors assessed, psychosocial stress during pregnancy was the most strongly associated with Child Behavior Checklist scores and was linked to all seven CBCL outcomes.
