“…Cohen et al, 2005;Kohut & Pillai Riddell, 2009), whereas others have found maternal presence increases infant distress (e.g. Moscardino et al, 2006;Shaw & Routh, 1982), although these studies all have limitations. One key limitation is heterogeneity of the wide age range of infants that may confound findings.…”

“…For example, Moscardino, Axia, and Altoe (2006) observed a stronger pain response during standard vaccination in infants of depressed mothers compared with infants of non-depressed mothers. Since anxiety is often comorbid with depression (Mineka, 1998), not only depression but also the effects of stress and anxiety have been considered (Frank, Blount, Smith, Manimala, & Martin, 1995;Matthey, Barnett, Howie, & Kavanagh, 2003).…”

Objective: This study investigates effects of maternal parity, mental health and frequency of touch on infant distress expressed during routine vaccination, as well as the ability of mothers to assess infant pain. Methods: 50 mothers (19 first-time mothers, 23 stressed, 8 depressed) and their 2-month-old infants (mean age 8.1 weeks, range 7-9 weeks) were videotaped during routine immunisation for off-line-analysis. Infant-related pain behaviours were coded before, during and after needle insertion. Maternal touch was coded throughout the immunisation procedure and maternal estimates of infant pain were established immediately after the procedure. Results: Infants of first-time mothers showed significantly more pain before the needle insertion as well as during the first vaccination, compared with infants of experienced mothers. In contrast to expectation, maternal mental health status and type of touch did not influence the level of pain expressed by infants. Mothers consistently overestimated infant pain and their assessments were poorly correlated with observed infant pain behaviours. Conclusion: These findings suggest that maternal parity may influence infant pain expression before vaccination. However, all mothers overestimate their infant's pain. Further studies are required to resolve conflicting findings in this field of research, as findings may have policy implications in promoting adherence to the vaccination schedule.

“…Ähnlich wie bei depressiven Müt-tern, könnte es also sein, dass auch eine psychisch gesunde Mutter vergleichsweise leicht den eigenen Stress ignorieren kann, wenn sie eine Gelegenheit erhält, dem eigenen Kind etwas Gutes zu tun. Womöglich mobilisiert sie dann ihre Ressourcen und intuitiven Kompetenzen und kann ihr Baby besser beruhigen als eine Mutter, die nicht unter einer derart hohen Belastung steht (Laucht et al, 2002;Moscardino et al, 2006 Die Erfahrungen der Eltern bei der Geburt, die psychisch belastend oder gar traumatisch und objektiv und/oder subjektiv empfunden sein können, können zur Entwicklung einer dysfunktionalen Mutter-/Eltern-Kind-Interaktion beitragen (Thiel-Bonney u.

Summary Interrelation between well-being of the mother and heart rate variability of her preterm infantThe relationship between mothers' well-being and the heart rate variability of their preterm babies was investigated. In order to study a possible influence of the mother's well-being on the calming quality of her voice and thereby on the heart rate variability of her preterm infant, maternal/paternal stress and competences as well as family functionality were assessed via respective questionnaires. (N = 30) Preterm babies at the postnatal age of approximately 4 weeks were acoustically stimulated with the voice of their own mother. Various heart rate variability measures (NN interval mean value, NN interval median, variance of NN intervals, standard deviation of NN intervals, pnn 6,25, RMSSD, SDSD and RSA) were recorded 15 minutes before, 15 minutes during and 15 minutes after the acoustic stimulation. Non-REM sleep sections of 2 minutes duration were matter of analyses. The correlations between the mothers' well-being and their babies' heart rate variability indicate a strong relationship. The correlations point out that a higher family functionality is associated with a higher heart rate variability of preterm babies. Contradictory to the expectations, higher burden and lower resources as well as lower competences of the mothers were associated with a higher heart rate variability of the preterm babies. Simultaneous real-time investigations of the mothers' and the babies' heart rate variability during a live mother-baby-interaction seems necessary to provide further explanations.Prax. Kinderpsychol.

Maternal internalizing symptoms during pregnancy, specifically depression and/or anxiety, are commonly linked to negative affectivity (NA) in infant offspring. These links are commonly attributed to biological effects of the in utero environment on fetal development. However, research suggests that internalizing symptoms before and after pregnancy, as well as in fathers, may also be associated with NA in infant offspring. Such findings suggest greater complexity in transmission than can be explained by biological in utero programming alone. Further, infant NA is often treated as an homogenous construct, yet it covers a range of facets including fear, frustration, sadness, and slow recovery from distress that may each be differentially associated with parent internalizing distress. Here we aimed to (1) meta-analytically quantify associations between maternal and paternal internalizing symptoms and infant offspring NA, (2) examine how associations varied as a function of distinct phenotypic facets of NA, and (3) examine how associations varied by timing of parental symptoms (preconception, antenatal, postnatal) and infant age. Using random-effects meta-analysis, we found that maternal internalizing symptoms were positively associated with infant NA (r = 0.17 [95% CI 0.14, 0.21], 42 studies, 149 estimates). Preliminary evidence from studies of fathers likewise suggested a positive association with infant NA (r = 0.13 [95% CI 0.04, 0.22], 6 studies, 40 estimates). We observed associations with the global infant NA construct, as well as effect modification by infant NA facet (maternal r range .12 to .22; paternal r range .03 to.21). In mothers, there was no evidence of effect modification by timing of internalizing symptoms or infant age; in fathers, preliminary associations were larger for postnatal than antenatal symptoms. Further studies of preconception and paternal symptoms are now needed, and we suggest avenues for research to advance understanding of the relations between parent internalizing symptoms and infant NA.
