The excessive use of digital media by breastfeeding mothers may reduce their responsiveness to their child. However, there are no longitudinal studies focusing on breastfeeding during infancy. This study aimed to examine mothers' habitual use of smartphones and their observations of their infants during breastfeeding and identifies changes in the relationship between mother's breastfeeding habits and bonding with their infants. This is a quantitative descriptive study based on a questionnaire survey conducted on the Internet. Two questionnaires were sent to and collected from Japanese mothers who were the registered members of the survey company; the first questionnaire was completed 1 to 3 months postdelivery and the second 6 months after the first (approximately 9 months after delivery). In total, 195 participants participated. Smartphone use during breastfeeding was habitual, but mothers simultaneously observed their infants. Mothers habitually used smartphones during breastfeeding shortly after giving birth; however, there was little connection to subsequent negative emotions toward their children or problems with bonding. It is necessary to continue to evaluate the behavior of the mother and child.
母乳喂养母亲过度使用数字媒体可能会降低她们对孩子的反应能力。然而，目前还没有关注婴儿期母乳喂养的纵向研究。本研究旨在检查母亲在母乳喂养期间使用智能手机的习惯，并确定母亲母乳喂养习惯与与婴儿建立联系之间关系的变化。这是一项基于互联网问卷调查的定量描述性研究。该研究向调查公司的注册会员中的日本母亲发送并收集了两份问卷；第一份问卷在产后 1 至 3 个月完成，第二份在第一份之后 6 个月（大约产后 9 个月）完成。共有 195 名参与者参与。母乳喂养期间使用智能手机已成为习惯，但母亲同时也会观察婴儿。母亲在分娩后不久就习惯在母乳喂养时使用智能手机；然而，这与随后对孩子产生负面情绪或与孩子建立联系出现问题之间并没有明显的联系。有必要继续评估母亲和孩子的行为。
