[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would start the pregnancy in therapy. Actually start now and figure out what triggered the PPD. [/quote]

This plus formula feeding. My husband did all night feeds every few days so I could sleep a full night and on other nights we traded off so we each got a solid chunk of hours sleeping. [/quote]

My mother had post partimos psychosis with me. So for my younger sibling she formula fed out the gate. They had a house cleaner (and I get the impression this was not a no-big-deal expense it was also the 80s and less common). And other plans in place.

Just for what it’s worth I have had depression so in my own pregnancies with this family  history I started on an antidepressant late in the 3rd trimester.

I know you’re talking about PPD and not post partum psychosis but I thought I’d chime in anyways. [/quote]

Yep. Formula feeding so you can sleep is a totally valid choice and can make a big difference for women who may be at risk for or struggling with these types of issues. Lack of sleep definitely impacts mental well-being and in the post partum period exacerbates all of the hormonal and other changes ongoing. [/quote]
