Maternal Psychopathology and Psychomotor Development of Children With GERD

Abstract

Objectives: The relation between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and maternal psychopathology as well as the role of impairments in mother child interactions in the perpetuation of feeding problems in children with GERD was previously implicated but not confirmed. The present study aimed to study the relation between maternal psychopathology and feeding problems in children with GERD and the effects of GERD on the psychomotor development of children.
