“…The review will add to the growing body of knowledge in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews on best practice in breastfeeding. It will complement reviews such as the impact of maternal separation (Sharifah 2007), the use of supplements on breastfeeding (Remmington 2007) and ad libitum or demand/semi-demand feeding versus scheduled feeding on low birth weight babies (McCormick 2010).…”

“…Rooming-in involves keeping the mother and the baby together in the same room postpartum for the duration of hospitalization, whereas separate care is keeping the baby in the hospital nursery and bringing her to the mother for breastfeeding (Sharifah, Lee, & Ho, 2007). In the past, when births occurred at home, mothers and their infants stayed together immediately after birth.…”

“…With the transition to the medical model where births occurred in hospitals, infants were transferred to care by the medical staff after birth and were brought to the mother for feeding purposes only (Greenberg, Rosenberg, & Lind, 1973). Over the years, more hospitals have reverted to the seemingly natural method, encouraging mothers to stay together with their infants after birth (Sharifah et al., 2007).…”

Postpartum depression (PPD) is the most common complication of childbearing, and recent studies have attempted to examine risk factors associated with it. The main study hypothesis was that a protective situational factor at a sensitive time period (full rooming‐in postpartum) would moderate the associations between insecure attachment dimensions and PPD. Three hundred twelve women, in either full or partial rooming‐in, participated in a longitudinal study at the maternity ward of a tertiary healthcare center. A Demographic questionnaire and the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale were administered at 1–4 days postpartum, and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression scale at 2 months postpartum. PPD was significantly associated with both anxious and avoidant attachment dimensions, but not with rooming‐in conditions. In addition, women in partial rooming‐in showed a positive correlation between insecure attachment dimensions and PPD, whereas no such correlation was found for full rooming‐in women. A situational factor such as full rooming‐in, which occurs at a critical time point for the mother–infant relationship, can moderate the association between maternal avoidant or anxious attachment dimensions and the mother's PPD levels. Postpartum practices, such as rooming‐in, can be personalized and thus beneficial in moderating personal risk factors for PPD.
