[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you exclusively breastfeeding? If possible, put him in charge of at least one feeding a day. Can be pumped milk or a bottle. Feeding is the thing that really helped my husband get over the initial hump.

Also see if he is into baby wearing.

That said, my main PPD symptom was rage. So try not to make any big moves. You’re both in a very fragile, very trying time. If you can’t summon good feelings towards him, at least table any big confrontations for six months if you can. The issues will still be there waiting for you, I promise.

In the meantime, look for help elsewhere. Are you planning any childcare? When does it start? Keep your eye on that. Ask for help from family and friends if you can. Are you doing a PACE group? It’s probably not too late to start. [/quote]

I am. We were told no bottles until 6 weeks.

He doesn’t like baby wearing because they feel uncomfortable to him.

We will have childcare start when I go back to work. I don’t know what PACE is. [/quote]
