[About offsprings of mothers with anorexia nervosa: what about clinical practice in pediatric settings?].
The authors first present the methodological issues raised by studies of the offspring of mothers with anorexia nervosa. Malnutrition and low weight appear to be the main consequences for the baby. Feeding mother/child interactions are more likely to be disturbed during later childhood. Emotional or psychological consequences are not well yet studied.
