Abstract: Postpartum eating disorders are increasingly recognized as a significant public health concern. These disorders may include restrictive eating, binge eating, or compensatory behaviors triggered by postpartum stress, body dissatisfaction, and societal pressure to regain pre-pregnancy shape. This mixed-method study aimed to explore the prevalence, associated risk factors, and emotional correlates of postpartum eating behaviors among new mothers. A sample of 90 mothers aged 20–40 years who had given birth within the past five years completed a 24-item online questionnaire assessing eating habits, body image, and psychological well-being. Results indicated that 74% of participants felt strong pressure to lose weight, 70% skipped meals, and 56% experienced guilt after eating. Over half reported body dissatisfaction and emotional distress related to food. Qualitative findings from literature review supported these outcomes, highlighting the interplay between depression, anxiety, and body image. Findings suggest a need for early screening, family education, and inclusion of eating disorder assessments in postpartum care to enhance maternal well-being.
Keywords: Postpartum eating disorder; body image; maternal mental health; eating behavior; perinatal care.
