The Impact

This longitudinal study investigated the impact of maternal mental health, including postpartum depression, and of maternal-fetal attachment, on maternal sensitivity when babies were eight months old. The study included 38 mother-infant dyads. The women answered the SRQ-20 and the Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale in the third trimester of pregnancy, and the BDI, for evaluation of postpartum depression in the first month following birth. Maternal sensitivity was examined through an observation of mother-child interaction when babies were eight months old. The multiple regression model considering the three factors explained 18.6% of the variance in sensitivity, and only maternal-fetal attachment was a significant predictor. The results indicate the importance of interventions to promote the bond of pregnant women with their babies, which may even minimize possible harmful effects of postpartum depression on mother-child interaction.

Maternal Postpartum Depression

Postpartum depression is a psychiatric disorder that starts from the second to the sixth week after birth. Postpartum depression has been shown to have an association with infant growth, nutrition, bonding, temperament and ultimately childhood mental wellbeing. This paper reviews overall outcomes of untreated maternal postpartum depression towards the mother-child interactions consequences. Systematic review was conducted in the online databases Google Scholar and PubMed using the index terms “postpartum depression” and “maternal outcomes” or “children outcomes”. Total of 10 studies (out of 112 references retrieved from bibliographic databases) were included in this systematic review. The results of the studies were synthetized into mother–child interactions, including bonding, breastfeeding, and the maternal role. The results suggest that postpartum depression creates an environment that is not conducive to the mother-child interaction thus regressing personal development of mothers or the optimal development of a child. It therefore seems  important to detect and treat depression during the postnatal period as early as possible to avoid harmful consequences.
