Post Natal Depression
Hi Meg
I had some good feedback for you on your Baby sense book today. I gave it to a friend of mine when she had her second baby and she cant stop singing its praises. She had Post Natal Depression after her fist born and has always said to others that the birth is the easy part, its the months after that are so bad. Knowing how bad it was for her I was surprised that they decided to have a second baby. Her second is now 5 months old and she has found it so much better this time around. Thankfully she has not suffered with Post Natal Depression this time. I asked her what she felt the difference was. She said that she knew what to expect this time around and she also says the Baby sense book really seemed to have helped her. When she received it in the post she didn’t think she would read it, feeling that she had done it all before. Over a few days though she started reading it in sections that were relevant to her and her baby. She said it has made such a difference as she now knows how to read her baby’s signals, is watching his awake times carefully and understands sleep cycles. Her second baby is far more less fracious than her first and is a calm and contended little man.
I just thought you might like to know that Baby sense made a difference in someones life!
Look out for our Article in our Happy Days section on Post Natal Depression on the Baby Sense website in February.
Thanks for letting me know, Nette. It is interesting because one of the big names in PND is South Africa told me there had been a fall off in PND in SA. She attributed this to Baby Sense. I love it when I hear these things because it is exactly what we intended when we wrote Baby Sense: To empower moms!
