“…While offspring gender is among risk factors for PPD ( 40 ), some studies conducted in traditional Western societies report no association between offspring gender and PPD ( 41 ). The research results of Goyal et al ( 42 ) confirms the results of our study. They stated that depression was significantly higher in fathers of female infants, compare with fathers who had male infants.…”

Background Postpartum depression (PPD) and anxiety are considered as a risk factor for mother and infant health. Therefore, the present study aims to explore the association between demographic characteristics and pregnancies with PPD and anxiety. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 Iranian women referring to health centres of the Zarand City four weeks to six months from the date of their childbirth, in the first half of 2018. Result The results showed that employed women with pregnancies who were categorised as depression and anxiety were more likely to have low gestational age, food insecurity, several deliveries, cesarean delivery and unintended pregnancy as well as they were not satisfied with their infant’s gender. Also, women with several deliveries had lower risk for PPD before and after adjustment for confounders (odds ratio [OR] = 0.92, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.88–0.97, P < 0.001) and had lower risk for postpartum anxiety only after adjustment for confounders (OR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.75–0.89, P < 0.001). Conclusion Eventually, demographic characteristics and attempting of pregnancy were independently associated with PPD and postpartum anxiety in women. There need to be more social and governmental support of employed women after delivery to decrease their occupational stresses to deal with PPD and anxiety in the studied population.

“…In a breastfeeding study from India, high Edinburgh Depression Scale scores in fathers as well as mothers were associated with lower breast-feeding rates at one week post-birth [20]. Although parents' scores were concordant, surprisingly, fathers of girls had higher depression scores.…”

Paternal depression has received very little attention relative to the research focused on maternal depression. This has happened despite its significant prevalence and its negative effects on the fathers themselves, the family relationships and the development of the offspring. This lesser attention likely relates to the lower prevalence of paternal versus maternal depression. In addition, greater concern about maternal depression may relate to the intrauterine environment effects on the fetus and the primary caregiving typically by the mother during the postpartum period. The increasing prevalence of paternal depression and its negative effects on the fathers themselves, the mothers and their offspring highlight the importance of ongoing reviews for both researchers, clinicians and parents. The current narrative review involved a literature search on PubMed and PsycINFO for empirical studies, reviews and meta-analyses published over the last eight years (2010-2018) on

“…To control for the effect that the tetrachoric association might have on the pooled estimate, we performed a sensitivity analysis, excluding the two studies reporting an OR (64,66). Moreover, based on influential case analysis, we excluded one study (59) reporting an unusually high correlation of r = 0.95. Although exclusion of the three effects decreased the pooled estimate slightly (r = 0.256 (95% CI [0.192, 0.319]), it remained significant (z = 7.96, p < 0.0001).…”

Background: Meta-analyses suggest an increased prevalence of paternal depression during the perinatal period of around 10%. The relationship between paternal and maternal symptoms, however, has received little attention.Objective: To determine pooled estimates pertaining to the relationship between paternal and maternal depression during the perinatal period according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement.Data sources: Studies reporting on the relationship between depression in fathers and mothers between the first trimester and the first year following childbirth were identified using PubMed, PsycINFO, and EMBASE for the period between November 2009 and February 2020.Study selection: A total of 28 primary, empirical studies published in English or German, reporting effect estimates for the relationship of depression in mother-father/partner dyads, involving 11,593 couples, were included. Ten studies included multiple assessments, resulting in 64 extracted effects. Analysis:Information on correlations and odds ratios were extracted. Four random-effects analyses were conducted for the pooled association between paternal and maternal depression: (a) during the prenatal and (b) during the postnatal period, as well as for the prospective relationships between (c) paternal depression and maternal depression at a later timepoint, and (d) vice versa. Models were specified as restricted maximum-likelihood estimation. Heterogeneity was assessed using H 2 and I 2 . Funnel plots, the Egger method, and the trim-and-fill test were used to assess publication bias. Sensitivity analyses with and without studies for which we approximated r were conducted.Data synthesis: With substantial heterogeneity, positive associations were found between paternal and maternal depression (a) during pregnancy (r = 0.238), (b) in the Thiel et al.Parental Perinatal Depression: Meta-Analysis postnatal period (r = 0.279), as well as for the prospective relationship between (c) paternal and later maternal depression (r = 0.192), and (d) maternal and later paternal depression (r = 0.208). Conclusion:Paternal depression showed positive correlations with maternal depression across the perinatal period. Given notable methodological and cultural heterogeneity and limitations of individual studies, it was not possible to further identify determining or moderating factors. Increasing evidence for implications of parental depression for child development warrants further scientific attention.

Correlation of Infant Gender with Postpartum Maternal and Paternal Depression and Exclusive Breastfeeding Rates

Abstract: Paternal depression correlates closely with maternal PPD and low exclusive breastfeeding of girls. Breastfeeding has implications for survival of girls. Efforts are needed to support the parents of girl children with PPD and such support must extend to fathers to improve survival.
