“…Exposure to ELS contributes to depression risk in adulthood and there is a wealth of evidence associating maternal depression with non-optimal parenting (Field, 2010; O’hara and McCabe, 2013) and reduced dyadic reciprocity in mother-child interactions (Righetti-Veltema et al, 2002). Depressed mothers are more likely to withdraw from interactions with their child, show lower amounts of sensitive parenting (Feldman et al, 2009), and perceive infant cues as more negative than non-depressed mothers (Forman et al, 2007).…”

Severe stress in early life, such as childhood abuse and neglect, constitutes a major risk factor in the etiology of psychiatric disorders and somatic diseases. Importantly, these long-term effects may impact the next generation. The intergenerational transmission of maternal early life stress (ELS) may occur via pre-and postnatal pathways, such as alterations in maternal-fetal-placental stress physiology, maternal depression during pregnancy and postpartum, as well as impaired mother-offspring interactions. The neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) has gained considerable attention for its role in modulating all of these assumed transmission pathways. Moreover, central and peripheral OT signaling pathways are highly sensitive to environmental exposures and may be compromised by ELS with implications for these putative transmission mechanisms. Together, these data suggest that OT pathways play an important role in the intergenerational transmission of maternal ELS in humans. By integrating recent studies on gene-environment interactions and epigenetic modifications in OT pathway genes, the present review aims to develop a conceptual framework of intergenerational transmission of maternal ELS that emphasizes the role of OT.

“…Also very well documented is the negative impact of PPD on the entire family [25], from the early difficulties in mother-infant relationship [26], and maladaptive caretaking behaviors and parenting [27], to the infant, toddler [28], preadolescent [29] and adolescence [30] social, emotional, and behavioral development. Mother-child interactions in the presence of PPD may be characterized simultaneously by hostility and unresponsiveness [31,32].…”

In this paper we review some of the best available evidence to argue that screening for perinatal depression should be systematically conducted since pregnancy. Our view is organized in ten topics: (1) perinatal depression high prevalence; (2) its potential negative consequences, including maternal, conjugal, foetal, infantile, and child effects; (3) its under-detection and treatment; (4) its stigma; (5) the professionals and women misconceptions related to perinatal depression; (6) the availability of valid and short self-report screening instruments for perinatal depression and (7) their acceptability; (8) the increase in recognition, diagnosis, and treatment rates in comparison with routine practice; (9) the opportunity, given the large number of contacts that women have with health professionals in the perinatal period; and (10) perinatal depression screening potential cost-effectiveness.

“…These infants are more likely to have failure to thrive, reduced cognitive abilities, and greater behavior, emotional, and social problems [55]. Even among non-depressed mothers at 3 months postpartum, fatigue was associated with difficulties in maternal-infant relationships [56]. These women are less likely to continue breastfeeding, to interact with their infant by playing and talking with them [57] or to follow a routine, suggesting that these mothers may benefit from intervention strategies aimed at improving scheduling.…”

Abstract:In this review, we describe postpartum sleep as characterized by marked fragmentation, resulting in nearuniversal fatigue during the initial postpartum period. This sleep disturbance and fatigue are major contributing factors to the onset of affect and mood disturbance, which in turn is strongly associated with an increase in negative infant-parent interactions and adverse infant emotional and cognitive outcomes. Although less-frequently studied, postpartum fathers also experience sleep disturbance and sleepiness associated impairments that impact their families. Despite this, postpartum sleep should be considered a normative developmental period, and the need for intervention can be seen as a byproduct of social and economic expectations that new parents return to the workforce soon after childbirth. Heretofore, there is little evidence to support the efficacy of interventions to improve parent sleep, though some suggest that socially disadvantaged families may benefit most from advice regarding infant and maternal sleep. Also reviewed here is the evidence for a high proportion of children reported to co-sleep with their parents -despite the professional recommendations in the United States -and the need for family education regarding safe co-sleeping. Finally, one obstacle to a woman's decision to breastfeed may be concern about how this will affect her sleep; the evidence for a lack of impact of infant breast feeding on maternal sleep is evident.
