母亲过度依赖喂养来缓解婴儿的痛苦与儿童肥胖率较高有关。有限的研究已经检查了婴儿和母亲的特征，预测母亲喂养安抚。本研究的目的是检验婴儿（气质）和母亲（抑郁、睡眠问题）特征作为母亲喂养安抚的预测因素的作用。176名母亲在婴儿6个月大时完成了《食物抚慰量表》、《婴儿行为简易问卷》、《流行病学研究中心抑郁量表》和《匹兹堡睡眠问卷》。采用层次多元回归分析。母亲抑郁只预示着接受WIC福利的母亲喂养会起到安抚作用，当母亲的睡眠问题加入到模型中时，这种关联不再显著。母亲的睡眠问题预示着更多的喂养以抚慰为主要作用，并与婴儿的负面情绪、母亲的抑郁以及在较小程度上的WIC状态相互作用。具体来说，婴儿的消极情绪只与睡眠问题较高的母亲喂养更多的食物来安抚有关，而睡眠问题只与抑郁母亲和接受WIC福利的母亲喂养更多的食物来安抚有关。研究结果表明，在产后早期处理多重压力源，包括母亲的睡眠，可能会加强针对母亲喂养行为的早期儿童肥胖干预措施的有效性。
Maternal overreliance on feeding to soothe to relieve infants’ distress has been associated with higher rates of childhood obesity. Limited research has examined infant and maternal characteristics that predict maternal feeding to soothe. The goal of the present study was to examine the role of infant (temperament) and maternal (depression, sleep problems) characteristics as predictors of maternal feeding to soothe. Mothers (N = 176) completed the Food to Soothe Scale, the Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised Very Short Form, the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Questionnaire when their infants were 6 months old. Hierarchical multiple regression was used. Maternal depression only predicted feeding to soothe among mothers receiving WIC benefits, and this association was no longer significant when maternal sleep problems were added to the model. Maternal sleep problems predicted higher feeding to soothe as a main effect and in interaction with infant negative emotionality, maternal depression, and to a lesser extent WIC status. Specifically, infant negative emotionality was only associated with greater feeding to soothe among mothers with higher sleep problems, and sleep problems were only associated with greater feeding to soothe among depressed mothers and mothers receiving WIC benefits. The findings suggest that addressing multiple stressors, including maternal sleep, in the early postnatal period may strengthen the effectiveness of early child obesity interventions that target maternal feeding behaviors.
