Postpartum Depression Causes And Symptoms

3. High Maintenance Babies

Although most women are well aware a new baby will change their life, they might experience a shock when the new baby comes.

New babies may also become colicky, which makes them fussier than normal. This may affect how much a new mom can sleep.
