Specifically, an increasing EPDS score after delivery was significantly associated with breastfeeding cessation at 12-14 weeks postpartum 52 , and lower rates of exclusive breastfeeding 33,34,47,50 . One study that examined parenting practices at 3 months postpartum in women with symptoms of PPD (EPDS !10) found a significant negative impact on parental safety practices compared with women who did not have symptoms of PPD, including the use of back sleep positions (p ¼ 0.0001), use of a car seat (p ¼ 0.006), and ensuring a working smoke alarm at home (p ¼ 0.0006) 31 .…”
