Bed-sharing among Barbadian mothers and infants was studied in relationship to maternal and infant characteristics. This prospective study followed 226 healthy, well-nourished mother-infant dyads at birth, 7 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months postpartum. At each age, approximately half of the infants shared the same beds as their mothers. Bed-sharing was associated with demographic characteristics, especially fewer home conveniences, and also maternal characteristics, including less information seeking by the mother and younger maternal age at first pregnancy. Bed-sharing was also associated with lower infant birth weights. Maternal moods were significantly correlated with bed-sharing, such that mothers who reported having more despair and anxiety were also more likely to sleep with their infants. Bed-sharing was also significantly associated with increased breastfeeding at all infant ages, but this relationship was no longer significant once the effects of maternal moods were controlled. This study emphasizes the importance of assessing maternal moods in studies evaluating the risk and benefits of bed-sharing.
对巴巴多斯母婴同床情况与母婴特征之间的关系进行了研究。这项前瞻性研究跟踪了226对健康、营养良好的母婴二元组，从出生开始，在产后7周、3个月和6个月进行观察。在每个年龄段，大约一半的婴儿与母亲同床。母婴同床与人口统计学特征有关，特别是家庭便利设施较少，也与母亲特征有关，包括母亲寻求的信息较少以及首次怀孕时母亲年龄较小。母婴同床还与较低的婴儿出生体重有关。母亲的情绪与母婴同床显著相关，即报告有更多绝望和焦虑情绪的母亲也更有可能与婴儿同睡。母婴同床在所有婴儿年龄段也与母乳喂养增加显著相关，但一旦控制了母亲情绪的影响，这种关系就不再显著。这项研究强调了在评估母婴同床风险和益处的研究中评估母亲情绪的重要性。
