Intuitive eating, maternal attachment, and weight status in postpartum women: a cross-sectional study
Intuitive eating behaviour is positively associated with maternal attachment. However, higher intuitive eating is associated with lower BMI levels, night eating, and skipping meals. The results suggest that public health counselling promoting intuitive eating may be beneficial for early postpartum women who are at risk of excessive weight gain.
