Standard addition

Psychological birth trauma and breastfeeding self-efficacy: a parallel mediation model of resilience and bonding.

Screening for psychological trauma and feeding confidence in new mothers may improve postpartum mental health support.

The abstract reports while these cross-sectional findings delineate patterns of statistical covariance rather than temporal or causal pathways, they highlight the relevance of integrating relational and intrapersonal screening into early postpartum maternal care. This PubMed record was retained because it is relevant to other.
