Background

Very little is known about the impact of manic post-partum episods (MPPE) and mother-baby interactions.

Aim

The objective of this preliminary work was to compare mother-baby interactions of mothers hospitalized for MPPE with the baby, and mother-baby interactions of mothers recruited in the community.

Methods

Interactions between 20 MPPE mothers and their babies aged between 2-6 months, and 13 community mothers and their babies (2-6 months), were evaluated with the «Global Rating Scales of Mother-Infant Interaction».

Results

MPPE mothers were more intrusive than community mothers. The MPPE babies were more withdrawn than community babies.

Discussion

More research is needed to evaluate the long term impact of such pattern of early interactions.
