Despite important health benefits, the presence of depressive symptoms may
decrease the prevalence of breastfeeding. The current study assessed the
relationship between depressive symptoms and breastfeeding at 6 and 12
weeks postpartum. Participants were recruited from a cohort completing a
clinical trial of calcium for prevention of preeclampsia. At 6 weeks
postpartum, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was completed
by mail. At 12 weeks postpartum, the EPDS was completed at an outpatient
visit. There was an inverse relationship between depressive symptoms and
breastfeeding at 6 weeks postpartum (P < .001) but not at 12 weeks. This
relationship persisted even after controlling for prior history of
depression, increased life stress, and current psychoactive medication. The
results suggest that depressive symptoms early in the postpartum period may
lower the prevalence of breastfeeding.
