<jats:sec> <jats:title>Introduction</jats:title> <jats:p>There is evidence to suggest that individuals with eating disorders (EDs) show differences in attention to food compared to those without eating disorders. Children of mothers with eating disorders are at an elevated risk of developing an eating disorder themselves. One potential intergenerational pathway may be that parents, and then infants, pay more attention to food in interactions, which in turn mediates transmission of disordered eating behaviours, particularly those during feeding and mealtimes. No study has investigated whether mothers’ ED behaviour history is associated with maternal and infant attention to food during infant feeding interactions.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods</jats:title> <jats:p>Mothers and 7-month-old infants from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children Generation-2 provided video footage of mother–infant feeding interactions filmed at home using head cameras. Feeding interactions were coded for mothers’ and infants’ visual attention using a micro-behavioural observational coding system. Outcomes were the mothers’ and infants’ proportion duration (of the entire feeding interaction) spent looking at food. Mothers’ ED behaviour history was assessed at age 25 years using the Youth Risk Behaviour Surveillance System questionnaire, from which a binary Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition, disordered eating variable was generated. Linear regression testing associations between mothers’ ED behaviour history and mother and infant attention to food were adjusted for infants’ sex, age, and birth order, and mothers’ age, education, and employment.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p> In 98 mother–infant dyads, mothers’ ED behaviour history was associated with longer proportion duration of infants’ looking at food during mealtimes [estimate = 0.59 (0.19, 0 <jats:underline>.</jats:underline> 99), <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.004], corresponding to a 20% difference in time spent looking at food for infants of mothers with an ED behaviour history compared to those without. There was no association between ED behaviour history and mothers’ attention to food. </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>Increased infant looking time to food during feeding may indicate a preoccupation with food. This preoccupation could be a reflection of ED behaviours being modelled to offspring by mothers or early behavioural markers of shared genetic risk for EDs. Support for mother–infant dyads with an ED history could target guiding mothers’ and infants’ attention (via video feedback, for example) to non-food-related activities to minimise any impact on the mothers’ relationship with the infant or the infants’ relationship with food.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Lay summary</jats:title> <jats:p>Children of mothers with EDs are at an elevated risk of developing an eating disorder themselves. One potential pathway of transmission of eating disordered behaviour from mother to offspring may be through behaviours shown during feeding and mealtimes. Existing evidence suggests that individuals with eating disorders show differences in attention to food compared to those without eating disorders, but no study had examined attention to food in mother-infant interactions. Using naturalistic observations of feeding at home, we showed that the infants of mothers with an eating disorder history showed increased attention to food during mealtimes. This provides preliminary evidence that attentional patterns during feeding interactions could be sensible targets for intervention.</jats:p> </jats:sec>

Background: Both maternal and paternal postnatal depression (PND) are associated with increased risk of less optimal offspring developmental outcomes. Early exposure to differences in maternal and paternal vocalisation behaviours associated with maternal and paternal PND may be important in this relationship. However, little research has captured vocalisation patterns at home without researchers present. Objectives: This study sought to examine the associations between maternal and paternal PND and various aspects of parental vocalisation behaviours. Methods: Mothers (n = 104) and fathers (n = 34) of six-months old infants from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children Generation-2 (ALSPAC-G2) provided video footage of mother- and father-infant interactions filmed at home using the head-worn video cameras (headcams) without the need for researchers to be present. Twenty-five mother-infant and father-infant interactions were coded on multiple aspects of parental and infant vocalisation behaviours using the micro-behavioural observational coding system. Parental (PND) was measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS; total score). Results: Frequencies and duration of vocalisation behaviours were similar in mothers and fathers. However, there was an indication that fathers demonstrated higher frequency and duration of commands, exclamations and ironic/sarcastic tone, and criticisms compared to mothers, while mothers engaged in more teaching compared to fathers. Linear regression models indicated that maternal and paternal PND were not associated with the majority of vocalisation behaviours. However, there were some specific patterns observed, mostly related to the emotional tone of the vocalisations. Higher levels of maternal PND were associated with lower frequency of speech in a neutral tone, frequency and duration of use of humour, and increased duration of speech in a positive tone. Higher levels of paternal PND were associated with higher mean duration of speech, infant-directed speech, higher frequency and duration of laughing, and increased duration of speech using questions and encouragement. Conclusion: These findings extend existing research by investigating the associations between maternal and paternal PND and a wide range of vocalisation behaviours captured and coded using innovative methods and in a more ecologically valid way than previous studies.

<jats:sec><jats:title>Question</jats:title><jats:p>We compared the effectiveness of different types of parenting interventions based on an a priori taxonomy, and the impact of waitlists versus treatment as usual (TAU), in reducing child internalising problems.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study selection and analysis</jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis of published and unpublished randomised controlled trials (RCTs) until 1 October 2022 that investigated parenting interventions with children younger than 4 years. Exclusion criteria: studies with children born preterm, with intellectual disabilities, or families receiving support for current abuse, neglect, and substance misuse. We assessed the certainty of evidence using the Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis framework. We used random-effects network meta-analysis to estimate standardised mean differences (SMDs) with 95% credible intervals (CrIs).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Findings</jats:title><jats:p>Of 20 520 citations identified, 59 RCTs (18 349 participants) were eligible for the network meta-analysis. Parenting interventions focusing on the dyadic relationship (SMD: −0.26, 95% CrI: −0.43 to −0.08) and those with mixed focus (−0.09, –0.17 to −0.02) were more effective in reducing internalising problems than TAU at the first time point available. All interventions were more effective than waitlist, which increased the risk of internalising problems compared with TAU (0.36, 0.19 to 0.52). All effects attenuated at later follow-ups. Most studies were rated as with ‘high risk’ or ‘some concerns’ using the Risk of Bias Assessment Tool V.2. There was no strong evidence of effect modification by theoretically informed components or modifiers.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>We found preliminary evidence that relationship-focused and mixed parenting interventions were effective in reducing child internalising problems, and the waitlist comparator increased internalising problems with implications for waiting times between referral and support.
