Sha T, Gao X, Chen C, et al. - Researchers sought to determine how symptoms of postnatal depression (PND) influence infant feeding practices in a large-scale Chinese cohort. They conducted a prospective study of the community-based cohort of 956 mother-infant pairs from January 2015 to December 2016. Screen-positive symptoms of PND were observed in 56 mothers with a cut-off ≥ 10. The percentage of early breastfeeding initiation was 75.8%, while exclusive breastfeeding was observed for the average duration of 3.90 ± 2.33 months. Findings revealed a correlation of depressive symptoms at 4 weeks postpartum with the cessation of exclusive and partial breastfeeding duration and the introduction of formula in the 12 months of delivery. They recommend providing early psychosocial assessment and social support to mothers in the early postpartum period to prevent adverse breastfeeding outcomes indirectly.
