Exclusive breastfeeding mitigates the association between prenatal maternal pandemic-related stress and children sleep problems at 24 months of age / Sarah NAZZARI ; Massimiliano PASTORE ; Serena GRUMI ; Livio PROVENZI in Development and Psychopathology, 37-4 (October 2025)

The early roots of sleep disturbances are still poorly understood and likely involve a complex interplay between prenatal and postnatal factors. This study investigated whether exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months moderated the association between maternal prenatal pandemic-related stress (PRS) and sleep problems in 24-months children born during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also explored the potential contribution of maternal postnatal anxiety in these relations. Seventy-eight infants (50% males) and their mothers provided complete data from birth to 24 months. Between 12 and 48 h from birth, maternal PRS during pregnancy was retrospectively reported as well as maternal anxiety and exclusive breastfeeding. Maternal anxiety and exclusive breastfeeding were also reported at 3 and 6 months after childbirth. Children sleep disturbances were reported at 24 months. Bayesian analyses revealed that maternal PRS was positively associated with sleep problems in children who were not exclusively breastfed from birth to 6 months. Findings add to the growing literature on the lasting impact of early pre- and postnatal experiences on child well-being and development.

Prenatal maternal stress during the COVID-19 pandemic and infant regulatory capacity at 3 months: A longitudinal study / Livio PROVENZI in Development and Psychopathology, 35-1 (February 2023)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 35-1 (February 2023) . - p.35-43 Titre : Prenatal maternal stress during the COVID-19 pandemic and infant regulatory capacity at 3 months: A longitudinal study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Livio PROVENZI, Auteur ; Serena GRUMI, Auteur ; Lilia ALTIERI, Auteur ; Giulia BENSI, Auteur ; Emanuela BERTAZZOLI, Auteur ; Giacomo BIASUCCI, Auteur ; Anna CAVALLINI, Auteur ; Lidia DECEMBRINO, Auteur ; Rossana FALCONE, Auteur ; Anna FREDDI, Auteur ; Barbara GARDELLA, Auteur ; Roberta GIACCHERO, Auteur ; Roberto GIORDA, Auteur ; Elena GROSSI, Auteur ; Paola GUERINI, Auteur ; Maria Luisa MAGNANI, Auteur ; Paola MARTELLI, Auteur ; Mario MOTTA, Auteur ; Renata NACINOVICH, Auteur ; Dario PANTALEO, Auteur ; Camilla PISONI, Auteur ; Federico PREFUMO, Auteur ; Laura RIVA, Auteur ; Barbara SCELSA, Auteur ; Maria V.

Pandemic-related stress experienced by mothers during pregnancy may act as an early risk factor for infants' regulatory capacity development by altering maternal psychosocial well-being (e.g., increased anxiety, reduced social support) and caregiving environment (e.g., greater parenting stress, impaired mother-infant bonding). The aim of the present longitudinal study was to assess the consequences of pandemic-related prenatal stress on infants' regulatory capacity. A sample of 163 mother-infant dyads was enrolled at eight maternity units in northern Italy. They provided complete data about prenatal stress, perceived social support, postnatal anxiety symptoms, parenting stress, mother-infant bonding, and infants' regulatory capacity at 3 months of age. Women who experienced emotional stress and received partial social support during pregnancy reported higher anxious symptoms. Moreover, maternal postnatal anxiety was indirectly linked to the infants' regulatory capacity at 3 months, mediated by parenting stress and mother-infant bonding. Dedicated preventive interventions should be delivered to mothers and should be focused on protecting the mother-infant dyad from the detrimental effects of pandemic-related stress during the COVID-19 healthcare emergency.

Sex-dimorphic pathways in the associations between maternal trait anxiety, infant BDNF methylation, and negative emotionality / Serena GRUMI ; Fabiana MAMBRETTI ; Marco VILLA ; Roberto GIORDA ; Matteo BORDONI ; Orietta PANSARASA ; Renato BORGATTI ; Livio PROVENZI in Development and Psychopathology, 36-2 (May 2024)

Both sex and epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, may contribute to the embedding of maternal distress into emotional outcomes. Here, we investigated sex-dependent patterns in the association between antenatal maternal trait anxiety, methylation of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene (BDNF DNAm), and infant negative emotionality (NE). Mother-infant dyads (N = 276) were recruited at delivery. Maternal trait anxiety, as a marker of antenatal chronic stress exposure, was assessed soon after delivery using the Stait-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Y). Infants' BDNF DNAm at birth was assessed in 11 CpG sites in buccal cells whereas infants' NE was assessed at 3 (N = 225) and 6 months (N = 189) using the Infant Behavior Questionnaire-Revised (IBQ-R). Hierarchical linear analyses showed that higher maternal antenatal anxiety was associated with greater 6-month-olds' NE. Furthermore, maternal antenatal anxiety predicted greater infants' BDNF DNAm in five CpG sites in males but not in females. Higher methylation at these sites was associated with greater 3-to-6-month NE increase, independently of infants' sex. Maternal antenatal anxiety emerged as a risk factor for infant?s NE. BDNF DNAm might mediate this effect in males. These results may inform the development of strategies to promote mothers and infants' emotional well-being.
