“…Given that having a child with health problems is difficult and increases maternal distress (Beck 1996b), breastfeeding might decrease the risk of maternal depression indirectly by leading to healthier infants. Additionally, early breastfeeding has been associated with infants with easier temperaments over the long-term (Field et al 2002; Merjonen et al 2011; Worobey 1992), and infants with easier temperaments tend to have mothers who are less likely to get depressed (Beck 1996a). It is worth noting, however, that other studies have also found that infants with easier temperaments are more likely to be breastfed (Vandiver 1997) and that the association between breastfeeding and infant temperament becomes negligible after the first half of the infant's life (Neigel et al 2008).…”

“…In line with these findings, women currently using both breast and formula infant feeding methods report less negative mood if they are randomly assigned to breastfeed their infant in the laboratory than if they are randomly assigned to formula feed their infant (Mezzacappa and Katlin 2002). Further, breastfeeding is associated with infants with easier temperaments (Jones et al 2004; Merjonen et al 2011), and fewer health problems in infants and mothers over the long-term (Ip et al 2007) both of which could have positive downstream consequences for maternal mental health (Beck 1996a). Taken together, these findings suggest that breastfeeding could be protective against maternal depression.…”

“…First, we found that subjects who experienced shorter breastfeeding durations were at an increased risk of neuropsychological deficits during adolescence and adulthood, whereas subject who were never breastfed incurred the additional risk of psychopathic personality [43,44] as well as research indicating a greater risk of abnormal psychological functioning during adulthood (e.g., schizophrenia) among children with minimal exposure to breastfeeding [3,50,64]. Second, our results indicate that 5HTTLPR significantly moderated the association between the absence of breastfeeding and neuropsychological deficits in adolescence and early adulthood, although the gene-environment interaction did not significantly predict psychopathic personality traits.…”

“…Despite numerous studies linking breastfeeding to neuropsychological health, a relatively small number of studies have explored the association between breastfeeding and abnormal psychological functioning during adulthood [3,50,64]. Among the limited number of studies in this area of research, the link between breastfeeding and the development of schizophrenia is the most commonly examined relationship.…”
