The birth of a baby brings changes not only to the family circle but also physiological changes as the mother’s body adjusts back to a non-pregnant state. It is important for new mothers to know that it is normal to experience sadness or anxiety as their hormones adjust to the postpartum state, whether they are breastfeeding or not, especially in the first three months. Significant postpartum depression issues are generally diagnosed and treated by doctors, and new mothers may benefit from therapy as they adjust to the increased responsibilities and many changes that follow childbirth, whether this is your first or you have added another child. Therapists have been trained to validate and provide supportive assistance for new mothers, helping to ease the transitions and teach coping and self-care strategies.
