Vulnerability, Support & New Research
                     in Mother-Infant Bonding 
Created to Connect   Lauren Porter, Centre for Attachment, Taranaki
                     NZ Homebirth Conference, 29 October 2011
Supporting a relationship....
Early Separation

Bystrova, Uvnas-Moberg, et al,
2009 (Early Contact vs Separation: Effects on
Mother-Infant Interaction One Year Later in Birth,
36:2, June 2009)
Sensitive Periods

•Contact after birth (oxytocin)
‣Skin to skin
‣Swaddling
‣Suckling
•Maternal sensitivity
•Infant self-regulation
•Mutuality
Epigenetics & the work of Michael Meaney
(Meaney et al, Nature Neuroscience 2004, Epigenetic programming by maternal
behavior, 847-854.)
“The single most important factor determining the
quality of mother-offspring interactions is the mental
and physical health of the mother. This is equally
true in rats, monkeys and humans.”

-Dr. Michael Meaney
Supporting & Healing

• If the mother-infant bond:


   ‣ has a sensitive period
   ‣ is essential for health
   ‣ has long term implications
   ‣ and can be impacted/
     changed...


• How do we support bonding
  and also create change when
  necessary?
Seeing, allowing, understanding, loving...
being with
Community
