Category: Project
Description: This randomised feasibility study investigates whether using an infant carrier leads to reduction in postnatal depression scores, increased wellbeing scores, and changes in parenting experiences. Maternal attachment style is examined as a potential moderator of this effect. Mothers of infants aged 0-6 weeks will be randomised to receive sling training and free sling hire, either immediately, or after a waitlist period of 12 weeks (control group). This study aims to collect information regarding the feasibility of recruitment and administering the intervention for future Randomised Control Trials.
