Maternal mental health impairments can affect mothers’ behavior during interactions with the baby, which are important predictors of childhood development in the first year. This study investigated the impact of postpartum depression and anxiety on motherinfant interaction and its developmental effects at 3 months of age. Participants were 64 mother-baby dyads that were filmed in a free-play episode. Mothers responded to SRQ-20 and BDI for mental health assessment. Babies’ development was evaluated with EDCC. Regression analyzes confirmed the predictive power of depression on the frequency of maternal smiles and also of tactile or object stimulation on baby’s motor behavior. The evidence of the impact of postpartum depression and nonverbal stimulation during interaction on the mother’s sensitive behaviors and motor development in the first months of life are discussed.
