8 Ways to Protect Your Mental Health in Your Postpartum Time - Better Beginnings

In the postpartum world, there are two main categories of mental health that professionals like postpartum doulas are trained to recognize and discuss with clients. The first category is called the "Baby Blues" and 4 out of 5 new moms, or 80%, experience this stage. The Baby Blues usually go away on their own, and most parents don't need any formal treatment. Parents with the Baby Blues may feel sad and cry a lot, feel moody or cranky, have trouble sleeping, eating or making decisions, feel overwhelmed, or feel that they can’t do a good job of taking care of their baby. The Baby Blues can start 2 to 3 days after you have your baby and can last up to 2 weeks.
