Key Points Question Is subclinical postpartum depressed maternal mood associated with how the young infant’s brain processes speech information? Findings In this population-based cohort study, more depressed maternal mood at 2 months after birth was associated with a statistically significant smaller change in infants’ electrophysiological brain responses to syllable pitch perception between ages 2 and 6.5 months. Meaning This study’s findings suggest an association between aberrant maturation patterns of infant speech perception and postpartum depressed maternal mood at subclinical levels.
