“…Withdrawn mothers are disengaged, unresponsive, affectively flat and do little to support the infant's activity. The infants are unable to cope or self-regulate this negative state, and develop passivity, withdrawal and self-regulatory behaviours (eg, looking away or sucking on thumb) (11,12).…”

ABSTRACT. Research substantiates that fathers' interactions with their children can exert a positive influence on their children's development. This report suggests ways pediatricians can enhance fathers' caregiving involvement by offering specific, culturally sensitive advice and how pediatricians might change their office practices to support and increase fathers' active involvement in their children's care and development.

“…They show greater stressed behaviors and appear more irritable (Abrams, Field, Scafidi, & Prodromidis, 1995), and have been rated as less attentive and expressive and more excitable (Lundy, Field, & Pickens, 1996). They also appear to touch and/or explore less, including less mouthing of novel objects at two weeks of age (Hernandez-Reif, Field, DelPino, & Diego, 2000) and less touching and playing with toys at one-year (Hart et al, 1998). Taken together, studies on maternal depression effects suggest that infants of depressed mothers behave and respond differently from infants born to nondepressed mothers and as a result may perceive differently.…”

Twenty neonates of depressed and nondepressed mothers failed to show an initial visual preference for their mother's versus a female stranger's face/voice. Subsequently, infants were habituated to their mother's face and voice. Infants of depressed mothers required 1/3 more trials and almost twice as long to habituate. A posthabituation test with their mother and a different female stranger revealed a preference for the stranger's face for 9 out of the 10 newborns of the nondepressed mothers. Again, the infants of depressed mothers displayed no visual preference. These findings reveal differences in depressed mothers newborns' speed of habituation and face/voice preferences.RESUMEN: Veinte reciénnacidos, hijos de madres deprimidas y no deprimidas no lograron mostrar una inicial preferencia visual por la cara y la voz de sus madres, versus la cara y la voz de una mujer extraña. Subsecuentemente, los infantes estaban acostumbrados a la cara y la voz de su madre. Los infantes de madres deprimidas requirieron 1/3 más de intentos y casi dos veces más el tiempo para acostumbrarse. Una prueba posterior al acostumbramiento, con la madre y con una mujer extraña reveló una preferencia por la cara de la mujer extraña en 9 de cada 10 reciénnacidos, hijos de madres no deprimidas. Los hijos de madres deprimidas no mostraron una preferencia visual. Estos resultados revelan diferencias en cuanto a la rapidez del acostumbramiento y la preferencia por la voz y la cara en el caso de reciénnacidos hijos de madres deprimidas.RÉ SUMÉ : Vingt nouveaux-nés de mères déprimées et non-déprimées n'ont démontré aucune préférence visuelle initiale pour leur mère, par opposition à un visage et à une voix de femme étrangère. Par la suite, les nourrissons étaient habitués au visage et à la voix de leur mère. Il a fallu aux nourrissons de mères déprimées un tiers de plus d'essais et presque deux fois plus longtemps pour s'habituer. Un test de capacité à s'habituer à leur mère et à une femme étrangère différente a révélé une préférence pour le visage de l'étrangère chez 9 sur 10 nouveaux-nés de mères non-déprimées. A nouveau, les nourrissons de mères déprimées n'ont pas démontré de préférence visuelle. Ces résultats révèlent des différences dans la vitesse de capacité à s'habituer et de préférences visage/voix chez les nourrissons de mères déprimées.We thank the newborn infants and their mothers for participating in the study. We also thank Julia Beutler and Natasha del Pino for their assistance with data collection.
