Hi lybrate-user, it may be postpartum depression. Please consider the following sings: inability to sleep or sleeping more than normal change in appetite extreme concern and worry about the baby or a lack of interest or feelings for the baby feeling unable to love the baby or your family anger toward the baby, your partner, or other family members anxiety or panic attacks fear of harming your baby; these thoughts may be obsessive, and you may be afraid to be left alone in the house with your baby. Irritability sadness or excessive crying difficulty concentrating or remembering feelings of doubt, guilt, helplessness, hopelessness, or restlessness lethargy or extreme fatigue loss of interest in hobbies or other usual activities mood swings marked by exaggerated highs and lows feeling emotionally numb. Its better to show her to a psychiatrist. Also, increase physical activity by introducing aerobic exercises, yoga, pilates or stretching regimens to your daily routine. Physical activity can help the body release mood-improving endorphins. Eat well. A nutritious diet, complete with fruits, vegetables, lean protein, low-fat dairy, and whole grains will help you feel better. If you are breastfeeding, eating well becomes even more crucial as your nutrients pass their way to your baby. Avoid high-sugar foods like soda, caffeine, and alcohol. All of these can aggravate postpartum depression by altering your mood in certain ways. For example, caffeine can make you anxious and alcohol is a depressant. All the best.
