Coloring away the blues: mandala art boosts Mom-Baby bond after tough births
NCT ID NCT07461922
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a guided mandala (a circular, patterned drawing) coloring session could help first-time mothers who had a negative birth experience feel closer to their baby and more confident as parents. 66 new mothers were randomly assigned to either a structured mandala coloring group or a free coloring group. The results showed that the mandala activity improved mother-infant bonding and parenting confidence more than free coloring.
