Abstract
Researchers exploring the nature of maternal-infant relationships have paid increasing attention in recent years to the roles of both mother and infant in determining the quantity and quality of mother — infant interactions1–8. Infants enter into the maternal — infant relationship with individual temperaments, specific needs, and varying capabilities to organize their environments. Mothers begin the relationship with their own individual expectations about their infants, capacities for recognizing and responding to their infant’s needs, and needs of their own.
