“…Many investigators have examined the relationship between maternal age and infants' health at birth. Some studies, for example, have found that women who bear children during adolescence are at increased risk of adverse fetal outcome compared to women who delay childbearing until a later age [21,22,23].…”

According to World Health Organization (WHO), normal weight of baby at term delivery is (2.5 – 4.2) kilograms. Every child’s birth weight below 2.5 kilograms, regardless of gestational age, is regarded as Low birth weight (LBW). WHO estimates that globally, over 20 million LBW babies are born annually and nearly 95.6% of them in developing countries. Half of all perinatal and 1/3rd of all infant deaths occur in babies with LBW. It is therefore, essential to study some of the factors that causes LBW. Hierarchical Multiple Regression analysis was used to study the effects of mother’s weight, age and height above and beyond mother’s education level in predicting the weight of the child at birth. The results showed that mother’s education level explains about 6.1% of the unexplained variations in the weight of the child at birth in block 1 and mother’s age, weight and height explained about 3.9% above and beyond mother’s education level. This implies that all the variables studied affects the baby’s weight at birth but, the mother’s educational level affects the baby’s weight much more. It was concluded that mother’s education level plays a vital role in predicting the weight of the child at birth because it has a causal effect on the use of prenatal care and improves marriage prospects.

“…For testing a family-level transactional approach, a second limitation of studies that include children and both parents is reliance on triadic family interaction tasks—tasks that include children and both parents—observed at one point in time (Blandon, Scrimgeour, Stifter, & Buss, 2014; von Wyl et al, 2008). Such studies show short-term interdependence among the behaviors of mothers, fathers, and children within brief interactions but not whether dyadic and family-level relations influence the development of individuals over extended periods of time.…”

Based on data from 710 2-parent families enrolled in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development, this article examined dyadic and family-level interdependence among indicators of family members' competence over time. A cross-lagged model that included children and both parents was used to simultaneously test relations among observed maternal sensitivity, observed paternal sensitivity, and children's externalizing behavior from 54 months to fifth grade. Testing 3 principal hypotheses, the study supported basic assumptions of a transactional family systems approach: (a) mother-child and father-child relations were independent predictors of change in children's and parents' behavior across middle childhood; (b) at all assessments, each parents' sensitive parenting predicted subsequent change in the other's sensitive parenting; and (c) both dyadic indirect effects between two family members and family-level indirect effects among all 3 family members were found. When predicting each members' behavior over time, a model that included both dyadic and family-level relations was superior to models that included only dyadic relations. Tests of 2 exploratory hypotheses suggested that (a) fathers' parenting predicted changes in mothers' parenting as equally as mothers' parenting predicted changes in fathers' parenting; and (b) mothers' parenting tended to be more influential early in development, and fathers' parenting was more influential later in development. The results suggest that individual development within families reflects complex dyadic and family-level interdependence among the behaviors of mothers, fathers, and their children over time.

“…Moreover, it has been shown that what occurs in family-level relationships, for example during mother–father–infant triadic interactions, are distinct from dyadic mother–child and father–child relationships and could not be inferred by the observation of separate dyadic interactions ( Kerig, 2001 ; Lindahl, 2001 ). Indeed, given that each parent will behave differently if the other parent is present or absent, observing triadic interactions permits consideration of the active role of each simultaneously and highlights their individual contributions ( von Wyl et al, 2008 ; Venturelli et al, 2015 ; Udry-Jørgensen et al, 2016 ). Finally, the observation of the triad allows to include the infant and to take his influence on the family system into account ( Rime and Stadlmayr, 2013 ).…”

The Diaper Change Play: Validation of a New Observational Assessment Tool for Early Triadic Family Interactions in the First Month Postpartum

The quality of family relations, observed during mother–father–infant triadic interactions, has been shown to be an important contributor to child social and affective development, beyond the quality of dyadic mother–child, father–child, and marital relationships. Triadic interactions have been well described in families with 3 month olds and older children using the Lausanne Trilogue Play (LTP). Little is known about the development of mother–father–baby interactions in the very 1st weeks postpartum, mostly because no specific observational setting or particular instrument had been designed to cover this age yet. To fill this gap, we adapted the LTP to create a new observational setting, namely the Diaper Change Play (DCP). Interactions are assessed using the Family Alliance Assessment Scales for DCP (FAAS-DCP). We present the validation of the DCP and its coding system, the FAAS-DCP. The three validation studies presented here (44 mother–father–child–triads) involve a sample of parents with 3-week-old infants recruited in two maternity wards (n = 32 and n = 12) in Switzerland. Infants from both sites were all healthy according to their APGAR scores, weight at birth, and scores on the NICU Network Neurobehavioral Scale (NNNS), which was additionally conducted on the twelve infants recruited in one of the maternity ward. Results showed that the “FAAS – DCP” coding system has good psychometric properties, with a good internal consistency and a satisfying reliability among the three independent raters. Finally, the “FAAS-DCP” scores on the interactive dimensions are comparable to the similar dimensions in the FAAS-LTP. The results showed that there is no statistically significant difference on scores between the “FAAS-DCP” and the “FAAS,” which is consistent with previous studies underlying stability in triadic interaction patterns from pregnancy to 18 months. These first results indicated that the DCP is a promising observational setting, able to assess the development of the early family triadic functioning. The DCP and the FAAS-DCP offer to both clinicians and researchers a way to improve the understanding of the establishment of early family functioning as well as to study the young infant’s triangular capacity. Perspectives for future research will be discussed.
