Abstract
Studies often use the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) or the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) as a screening tool for depression in new mothers or fathers following the birth of an infant, but no studies have evaluated EPDS as a predictor of postnatal depression for new fathers in a Chinese population. This study aimed to test the validity and reliability of a Chinese version of the EPDS for fathers of newborns in Taiwan. The study included 368 parents with newborns ≤2 months of age and without any health problems. Construct and criterion-related validities were assessed and Cronbach's alpha was used for measuring internal consistency reliability. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyzed the optimal cutoff score for the EPDS. Scores for the Chinese EPDS were significantly higher for fathers who were >34 years of age, employed in a professional occupation, and participated in feeding their infant (p < .05). Mean scores among the fathers for the EPDS and BDI-II were significantly correlated (r = .64, p < .001). The Cronbach's alpha was .83 for the EPDS; ROC curve analysis revealed the optimal cutoff of the EPDS was ≥8 points and the area under the ROC curve was 0.91. The EPDS had good validity and reliability and should therefore be considered suitable for the evaluation of postnatal depression in fathers of newborn infants in Taiwan.

Abstract
Although people other than mothers participate in feeding, few interventions include non-maternal caregivers, especially those promoting healthy development among children aged 0-3 years. Understanding the role and influence of non-maternal caregivers is essential for the development and effectiveness of early childhood feeding interventions; yet, no reviews have examined non-maternal caregivers of children aged 0-3 years. This study assessed what is known about non-maternal caregivers' feeding of children aged 0-3. We systematically reviewed 38 empirical quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies, cataloged in PubMed and Web of Science and published between 1/2000-6/2021. The studies showed that non-maternal caregivers engage in child feeding and their attitudes and behaviors affect child outcomes. Like mothers, non-maternal caregivers vary in the extent to which their knowledge and attitudes support recommended feeding practices and the extent to which they exhibit responsive feeding styles and practices. Children of broad ages were included in the studies; future research should include infant/toddler-only samples to allow for better assessment of age-specific feeding constructs. The studies also revealed issues specific to non-maternal caregivers that are unlikely to be addressed in interventions developed for mothers. Thus, the review highlighted features of non-maternal caregiving of children 0-3 years that could be addressed to support feeding and child outcomes.
