The connection between maternal eating disorders and feeding and eating problems among their children has been substantially demonstrated. This pilot study focused on the interactions between mothers with eating disorders and their toddlers in non-feeding situations. Twenty-eight dyads of mothers with prenatal eating disorders and their toddlers were compared to a case-matched control group with no eating disorder. Maternal current eating and co-occurring psychopathology, children's symptoms and mother-child interactions were measured. Mothers with eating disorders were less sensitive to their children, tried to control their children's behaviors more, and were less happy during mother-child interactions. The children in the maternal eating disorder group were rated as less responsive to their mothers and their mothers also reported more behavioral problems than those in the control group. Findings imply that maternal eating disorders may be linked with a wide range of adverse maternal and child behaviors beyond those associated with eating.
母亲饮食失调与其子女喂养及饮食问题之间的联系已得到充分证实。这项试点研究聚焦于患有饮食失调症的母亲与其幼儿在非喂养情境下的互动。将28对患有产前饮食失调症的母亲及其幼儿与无饮食失调症的病例匹配对照组进行了比较。对母亲当前的饮食及共病精神病理学、儿童症状以及母婴互动进行了测量。患有饮食失调症的母亲对子女的敏感性较低，更倾向于控制子女的行为，且在母婴互动期间幸福感较低。与对照组相比，患有饮食失调症母亲组的儿童对母亲的反应性较差，其母亲报告的行为问题也更多。研究结果表明，母亲饮食失调可能与一系列广泛的不良母婴行为有关，而不仅仅是与饮食相关的行为。
