 This study found that during the perinatal period, up to 25% of women experienced difficulties in relating to their child. These difficulties were linked to the mother's own attachment style and her relationship with her partner. Additionally, it was found that these difficulties were more likely to be seen in women who had a history of depression or anxiety. Furthermore, the quality of the mother's relationship with her parents was linked to how she related to her baby. It was also found that women who had a secure attachment style and close relationships with their partners were more likely to breastfeed their babies. Finally, this study showed that psychotherapy could help provide reassuring, restorative interpersonal experiences for women experiencing difficulties in relating to their children.
