| Anemia Affect |
Anemia, which is often termed ''anemia'', not only causing a risk of bleeding during delivery, but can also create a lack of bonding between mother and newborn birth.
Even with a mild iron deficiency alone, have been able to disturb the strong bond between mother-child. Considerable blood loss during delivery, can cause anemia in mothers. Moreover, many women who previously had been suffering from anemia and iron supplements during pregnancy.
Previous research indicates that anemia is also easy for women experiencing depression after childbirth. Also shown in memory and thinking skills that are slow.
Research to see the impact of anemia on the emotional bond between mother-child with participants from 64 South African women who experience mild iron deficiency (anemia), compared with 31 women who had normal iron.
After 10 weeks of birth, each mother and baby was recorded to see the interaction that occurred. Half of these anemic mothers given iron supplements. After nine months, all mothers were recorded back to see the mother-child interaction.
The results show, women who experience iron sufficiency and who received iron supplements showed more emotion towards their infants. Who's the mother who suffered a mild deficiency of iron, looks less sensitive to the sounds of her baby and showed a low value in interacting with her baby? In addition to time spent playing with the baby a little more, and seen more often bored or away from their infants than other mothers.
Nine months later, three groups of infants showed a different behavior. Infants of mothers’ mild anemia, less responsive and less involved with their mothers, compared with two other groups.
The results of this study were presented at the Experimental Biology conference in San Diego, United States.
