Maternal attitude to a child creates a unique environment for the development of his mental health and personality; early mother — child relationships are significant from pregnancy to early age. The article studies characteristics, dynamics, and predictors of maternal attitude from pregnancy to the infancy and time points: T1 — during pregnancy, 98 women, 30.6 ± 4.52 years old, gestation period 32.4 ± 7.03 weeks; T2 — same 98 women at 4th–8th months of their child. Methods: Pregnant Women Attitude Test (2015); Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS) (1993, adopted by S. S. Savenysheva, V. O. Anikina, M. E. Bloch in 2022); drawing test “Me and my child” (2024), The Maternal Attitude Test (modified from Pregnant Women Attitude Test, authorized by M. E. Bloch, S. S. Savenysheva, V. O. Anikina, I. V. Grandilevskaya, adopted by S. S. Savenysheva et al., 2022), Maternal Postnatal Attachment Scale (MPAS) (adopted by S. S. Savenysheva et al., 2022). The results demonstrated both at pregnancy and after the child’s birth a predominantly optimal maternal attitude, high and medium levels of prenatal and postnatal mother — child relations. The dynamics showed an increase in the indicators of the maternal attitude from pre- to postnatal period, an increase in the euphoric type of maternal attitude and a decrease in the anxious and optimal type. Predictors of maternal attitude towards an infant are the same types of psychological component of the gestational dominant and the components of the prenatal attitude towards the child. Conclusion: from pregnancy to infancy maternal attitude improves. Maternal attitude towards a child prenatally is a significant predictor of the attitude towards him postnatally.
