New research finds link between some baby books and postnatal depression. A new Swansea University study has highlighted the link between parenting books that promote strict routine for babies and postnatal depression.

The study found that the more mothers read these books, the more likely they were to have symptoms of depression, low self-efficacy and not feel confident as a parent.
The research was carried out by MSc Child Public Health student Victoria Harries and supervised by Dr Amy Brown, Associate Professor and maternal and infant health researcher. Three hundred and fifty four mothers with a baby aged 0 – 12 months reported whether they had read these types of parenting books, how the books made them feel and then completed measures of their mental health and wellbeing.
