“…In contrast to the study of Iles et al (2011), none of the psychological symptoms in the present study were significantly related within couples, which may be explained by differences in type and timing of measures between these two studies. However, the finding that the couple's relationship and reports of the infant characteristics and the parent-baby bond were significantly associated within couples, is supported by literature regarding family interactions (Fivaz-Depeursinge, Favez, Lavanchy, De Noni, & Frascarolo, 2005) and co-parenting (Barnett et al, 2008;Davis, Schoppe-Sullivan, Mangelsdorf, & Brown, 2009;Ryan et al, 2006).…”

Objective: To prospectively examine the impact of parental mental health (PTSD, depression and anxiety), the couple's relationship quality and the infant temperament on the parent-baby bond in first-time mothers and fathers. Background: Evidence suggests that poor parental mental health, difficult infant temperament and/or lower quality of the couple's relationship may impede the parent-baby bond. However, little research has included both parents or followed these measures across time. Methods: 75 women and 66 men completed questionnaire measures during pregnancy, 3 and 15 months postpartum, assessing mental health symptoms, the parent-baby bond, the couple's relationship and infant characteristics. The response rates at different time-points were 90%, 77% and 70%. Results: The parent-baby bond was associated with parental mental health, the couple's relationship and infant characteristics. The most important predictors of the parent-baby bond three months postpartum for both men and women were the couple's relationship during pregnancy and their baby's temperament at three months. At 15 months postpartum, after accounting for the parent-baby bond at 3 months, only concurrent infant temperament remained a significant predictor for women. However, men's bond with their baby at 15 months was predicted by their relationship with their partner in pregnancy and concurrent affective symptoms. Few significant gender differences were found, apart from women reporting more mental health symptoms than men. Conclusion: This study highlights the significance of the couple's relationship in pregnancy and the infant's temperament on the development of the parent-baby bond. Future research is needed to examine this in larger more representative samples.Keywords: parent-baby bond; mental health; longitudinal; father(s); mother(s) IntroductionThe formation of a close positive early relationship between a parent and their baby is widely viewed as important for a range of child outcomes, such as social, emotional and cognitive development. Impaired parent-baby relationships have been estimated to range between 3% and 9% in the general population (Righetti-Veltema, Conne-Perrard, Bousquet, & Manzano, 2002;Skovgaard et al., 2008) and between 10% and 25% in psychiatric samples (Brockington, 2004).

“…La observación del juego infantil con ambos padres, da cuenta de la capacidad del niño/a para establecer interacciones triádicas, apreciándose a las 12 semanas su invitación a compartir sentimientos de placer, interés o malestar con ambos padres, alternando su mirada y las señales de afecto con el padre y la madre (Fivaz-Depeursinge, Favez, Lavanchy, de Noni & Frascarolo, 2005). Los autores definen las interacciones triangulares en que el bebé participa (los tres juntos, o dos y uno presente), como parte del desarrollo normativo del bebé.…”

r e S u M e n Estudios recientes muestran la influencia de la presencia del padre en la salud mental familiar, incidiendo, entre otras variables, en el vínculo madrehijo. Considerando este antecedente, se realizó un análisis comparativo de la calidad de la interacción madre-hijo en diadas pertenecientes a familias chilenas nucleares y monoparentales de bajos ingresos. Se estudiaron 80 diadas, 40 pertenecientes a familias monoparentales a cargo de madre y 40 pertenecientes a familias nucleares. Las edades de los niños estudiados varían entre 4 y 17 meses (M = 12.36, DE = 3.2) y las de las madres entre 15 y 44 años (M = 26.74, DE = 7.53). Se evaluó la respuesta sensible materna y la calidad de la interacción con el instrumento CARE-Index (Crittenden, 1997). Los resultados muestran interacciones de mayor calidad en las diadas pertenecientes a familias nucleares, con diferencias significativas y tamaños de efecto mediano en los aspectos cognitivos de la interacción.

Considering this information, the present study does a comparative analysis of the quality of mother-child interaction on dyads of nuclear and single-mother, Chilean, low-income families. 80 Dyads were studied, 40 belonging to singlemother families and 40 to nuclear families. The children's ages were between 4 and 17 months (M = 12.36, SD = 3.2) and the mothers between 15 and 44 years old (M = 26.74, SD = 7.53). The mother's sensitivity answer and the quality of the interaction were evaluated with the CARE-Index (Crittenden, 1997) instrument. The results show a greater interaction quality among nuclear families, with important differences and medium effect sizes on the cognitive aspects of the interaction.

“…Although the family systems perspective acknowledges the importance of fathers' impact on their baby and the family as a whole (e.g., Bell et al, 2007;Cowan & Cowen, 2002;Erel & Burman, 1995;Fivaz-Depeursinge, Favez, Lavanchy, De Noni & Frascarolo, 2005), there is still far less research on fathers than mothers, with inconclusive findings.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link AbstractThe aims of the current study were to examine the effect of fathers' and mothers' pre and postnatal mental health on mother-infant and father-infant interactions. Mental health was broadly defined to include anxiety, depression and PTSD. A community sample of 44 mothers and 40 fathers from 45 families completed questionnaire measures of mental health in late pregnancy and three months postpartum. Mother-infant and father-infant interactions were observed and videoed three months postpartum and analysed using the CARE-index.Results showed that prenatal mental health, in particular anxiety, was associated with parentinfant interactions to a greater extent than postnatal mental health. Fathers' prenatal symptoms were associated with higher paternal unresponsiveness and infant passivity whilst fathers' postnatal symptoms were associated with higher levels of infant difficulty in the father-baby interaction. The results also indicated that mothers and fathers interaction with their babies were similar, both on average and within the couples, with 34% being inept or at risk. These findings highlight the need for early detection and prevention of both mental health and parent-infant relationship problems in fathers as well as mothers. However, further prospective and longitudinal studies are needed to understand the influences of parental mental health on the parent-infant interactions further. Also it should be noted that the mental health scores were low in this well-educated, middle-class relatively low risk community sample of two-parent families, and that future studies therefore would benefit from focusing on more vulnerable groups of parents.
