两项研究考察了母乳喂养对母亲压力和情绪的影响。在实验1中，比较了28名母乳喂养的母亲和27名奶粉喂养的母亲在过去一个月中感受到的压力。在控制了人口统计差异后，母乳喂养的母亲报告称，他们感觉到的压力较小。在实验2中，对相同的24位母亲在母乳喂养和奶瓶喂养前后的情绪评分进行了评估。母乳喂养与消极情绪的减少有关，而奶瓶喂养与从喂养前到喂养后的积极情绪下降有关。结果表明，母乳喂养可以缓解负面情绪。这些影响似乎归因于母乳喂养本身的影响，而不仅仅是个体差异因素。
Two studies examined the effects of breast-feeding on maternal stress and mood. In Experiment 1, perceived stress in the past month was compared between 28 breast-feeding and 27 bottle-feeding mothers. Breast-feeding mothers reported less perceived stress, after controlling for demographic confounds. In Experiment 2, mood ratings were assessed in the same 24 mothers both before and then after I breast-feeding and I bottle-feeding session. Breast-feeding was associated with a decrease in negative mood, and bottle-feeding was associated with a decrease in positive mood from pre- to postfeeding. Results indicated that breast-feeding buffers negative mood. These effects appeared to be attributable to the effects of breast-feeding itself and not solely to individual-differences factors.
