Popis: This longitudinal cohort correlational study aimed to confirm the relation among taekyo or traditional prenatal practice, prenatal depression, postpartum depression, maternal&ndash
fetal interaction, and infant temperament and colic using a prospective design. We recruited 212 women 16&ndash
20 weeks pregnant from July 2017 to September 2018
they were followed up until six months postpartum. Data from 97 participants were used in the final analysis. We used the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Cranley&rsquo
s Maternal&ndash
Fetal Attachment Scale, and What My Baby Is Like as measurement tools. We observed a significant correlation between prenatal maternal depression in the first to third trimesters and 6&ndash
8 weeks and six months postpartum. In addition, infant temperament at six months old showed a significant negative correlation with prenatal and postpartum depression: the higher the prenatal and postpartum depression level, the more difficult the infant&rsquo
s temperament. Taekyo practice was significantly related to maternal&ndash
fetal attachment (r = 0.45&minus
0.68, p <
0.001). Difficult infants showed more colic episodes than any other type of infant (&chi
2 = 18.18, p <
0.001). Prenatal and postnatal maternal depression affected infants&rsquo
temperament and colic episodes. The management of mothers&rsquo
mental health before and after pregnancy is important for infants&rsquo
and mothers&rsquo
health.
