Shinshu University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Postpartum maternal mental health and mother-to-infant bonding are well-established as critical factors in a child’s psychosocial development. However, few studies have explored the combined impact of postpartum maternal depression and early bonding experiences on emotional and behavioral difficulties during middle childhood.

Notably, secure early bonding was found to partially buffer the long-term effects of postpartum depression on child outcomes.
