Interactive effects of parity and pup stress on the maternal behavior of Rattus norvegicus. 1977

L L Wright, and R W Bell, and H L Schreiber, and R Villescas, and L Conely

Litters of primiparous and multiparous rat mothers received 0,2, or 5 min of cold stress for the 1st 5 days postpartum. Primiparae showed increasing maternal responsiveness over the treatment period. Multiparae were initially maternally responsive to moderate stress cues from pups, but habituated to them over days. From Days 6 to 20, when pups were not stressed, lactation behavior of stressed groups declined in primiparous mothers but not in multiparous mothers.
