“…Others found that their reluctance to inflict the crying on others distanced them from their family and friends. Interestingly, such factors are discussed by Bradford (1997) and Dale (1997) with regard to the parents of children with chronic illness. The absence of any period of relief eventually caused exhaustion and loss of control, and the repetitive nature of disturbed nights often exerted a cumulative effect.…”

“…There exists a pervasive lack of research attention concerning the experiences and challenges of parents who suffer health problems (Dale, ), and this limitation extends also to the literature on child feeding difficulties. Just one study could be found that examined maternal health as a correlate of early feeding difficulties (infants aged 7–18 months), and this study showed that mothers of children with specific feeding issues, such as colic and food refusal, retrospectively reported more health problems during pregnancy compared to mothers of children with no feeding issues (Lindberg et al, ).…”

Background Drawing from the extended UNICEF model of children's eating and weight problems and growing empirical evidence, exposure to adversity may place mothers at increased risk for child feeding difficulties. Aim The aim of the present study of a community sample of mothers was to examine whether maternal psychological distress, exposure to stressful events, and poor self‐rated health in their child's first year of life were associated with breastfeeding duration, as well as concurrent and prospective feeding problems. Materials & Methods Participants were 5107 Australian mother‐child dyads from the infant cohort of the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC). Data for the present study was drawn from questionnaires completed by the mother at Wave 1 and Wave 2 (conducted 2 years apart). On average, at Wave 1, mothers and children (51% male) were aged 31 years and 9 months, respectively; while at Wave 2 their ages were 33 years and 34 months, respectively. Results Maternal psychological distress and poorer self‐rated health were uniquely predictive of concurrent and prospective child feeding difficulties, while poorer self‐rated health was also concurrently associated with a shorter duration of breastfeeding. Discussion These findings suggest that poorer maternal functioning poses a significant risk for early child feeding difficulties, and highlights the potential benefit of screening and early intervention for mothers experiencing emotional and physical health problems. Conclusion Further research is needed that takes a broad view of maternal functioning, and examines reciprocal interactions between maternal and child characteristics in understanding the development of child feeding problems.
