[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, you’re posting so that you can get support from multiple internet strangers who can join you in piling on how “unreasonable “ your sister is?
Your sister gets to decide her own level of acceptable risk for herself — and to work out how to handle that with her husband.
Your sister is probably doing exactly what you have done — just with different conclusions and a different level of risk from yours. 
That really is ok.

+1 she's got a tiny baby to take care of and protect, let her do that in whatever way works for her. She's the one that has to live with the decisions she makes[/quote]

Well, it sounds like the husband doesn't agree, and he has as much right to decide what is acceptable for his child as the mother. OP, all you can do is advise your BIL to talk to their pediatrician about the concerns and see if they think she should be screened for PPD/PPA.

Support any way you can from afar. Show her that you are willing to connect with her on her terms. Maybe see if she would be open to a visit through a window? You could sit outside her house and talk through a window?[/quote]
