Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Helpful bookThis book is a quick and easy read. I read it after having suffered postpartum depression and was able to highlight several passages in the book of the exact things I thought, felt, or did. I only wish I had this book before I had the depression so I knew what to expect. It would have also been a valuable tool for my husband to have so he would have known what signs to look for. I would recommend it to anyone who has suffered, thinks they are suffering, or wants to know ahead of time what to look ...

I do wish the authors had included more information about the preventative effect of breastfeeding on women who are at risk for any degree of PPD, and wish they'd mentioned the importance of nursing for bonding with a baby even during the difficult postpartum illnesses they describe.

I read this book in about 90 minutes. It helped me understand the different levels and severities of postpartum depression and actually helped me understand my feelings. I think all new mothers should read this book and even after the first child -read it again with next. It made me happy because I realized I'm not alone. I am 8 weeks postpartum now and feel much better. ... Read More
