Abstract
The perinatal period poses risk to the body image and eating behaviors of individuals, particularly those in the postpartum period. Recent findings on the relation between body dissatisfaction and disordered eating throughout the perinatal period are reviewed here. The review includes information on updated theories of this relationship and its implications for such outcomes as breastfeeding or clinical eating disorders. Opportunities and recommendations for intervention strategies, cultural considerations, and patient populations meriting further attention are discussed.
