Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Breastfeeding is a parenting practice that combines close intimate contact with the opportunity to be sensitive and responsive to the infant, and may have direct and indirect relations with infant attachment. However, researchers have produced inconsistent findings, suggesting there may be other mechanisms involved. Coparenting may play a significant role, as it has been consistently associated with mother-infant relationships.
UNASSIGNED: The aims of this study were to examine: (1) whether breastfeeding would be directly associated with infant-mother attachment; (2) whether this association was also indirect, through mothers\' quality of caregiving; and (3) whether partners\' coparenting support moderates breastfeeding\'s indirect association with attachment.
UNASSIGNED: This was a prospective, longitudinal study that drew data from a larger NIH-funded study on sleep and family relationships (R01HD052809). Mothers reported on their feeding practices and coparenting relationships. Independent observations were used to assess mothers\' emotional availability toward infants. A separate team of observers assessed infant-mother attachment.
UNASSIGNED: Exclusive breastfeeding during the first 6 months, and longer duration of any breastfeeding across the 1st year, were directly associated with more secure infant-mother attachment. These associations were also indirect, through maternal emotional availability. Coparenting was a significant moderator, such that the influence of longer breastfeeding duration on improved emotional availability, and, in turn, on more secure attachment, was significant only for mothers who perceived coparenting quality to be low.
UNASSIGNED: Findings highlighted the importance of breastfeeding on both the quality of mothering and infant attachment, but also emphasized that coparenting support may be particularly important for mothers who are unable to breastfeed.

摘要：
■母乳喂养是一种育儿实践，将亲密接触与对婴儿敏感和敏感的机会相结合，并且可能与婴儿依恋有直接和间接的关系。然而,研究人员产生了不一致的发现，这表明可能还有其他机制。共同合作可能会起到重要作用，因为它一直与母婴关系有关。
■这项研究的目的是检查：（1）母乳喂养是否与婴儿-母亲依恋直接相关；（2）这种关联是否也是间接的，通过母亲的护理质量；（3）伴侣的共同支持是否缓和了母乳喂养与依恋的间接关联。
■这是一个前景，纵向研究的数据来自美国国立卫生研究院资助的一项更大的睡眠和家庭关系研究(R01HD052809)。母亲报告了他们的喂养方式和共同关系。使用独立观察来评估母亲对婴儿的情绪可用性。一个单独的观察员小组评估了婴儿-母亲的依恋。
■前6个月纯母乳喂养，在第1年期间，任何母乳喂养的持续时间都更长，与更安全的婴儿-母亲依恋直接相关。这些关联也是间接的，通过母亲的情感可用性。Coparenting是一个重要的主持人，这样更长的母乳喂养持续时间对改善情绪可用性的影响，and,反过来,在更安全的附件上，仅对认为共生质量低的母亲才有意义。
■研究结果强调了母乳喂养对母亲质量和婴儿依恋的重要性，但也强调，对无法母乳喂养的母亲来说，共同支持可能尤为重要。
