Ppd? Or something else?

Question

Does it come on suddenly? Can it take time? My LO is 4 weeks old and EBF. With her cluster feeding and being fussy and i found myself getting frustrated. 
Last night I just started bawling because she is my third but I just feel like an idiot. I cant distinguish her cries and i feel like im putting my other two children on the back burner because my baby is constantly attached to my boobs.  
I would never hurt my baby. And i dont have horrible thoughts towards her. Im just so discouraged on breastfeeding and feel like I cant take care of all my children like i should. 
Its upsetting because im the only one who can console the baby. Everything is left on my shoulders and its just overwhelming. Is this something I should be concerned about? Or just normal?

Answer

Mine was gradual and didn’t really hit me fully that there was an issue until 6m pp

Answer

The first three no ths are the hardest. The absolute worst. I cried, I was so exhausted, I had no clue what my daughter wanted and it made me feel awful!
It sounds normal, but if you're worried t you could always have a check and then do another check up in two weeks time to see if it changes.

Answer

Sounds normal to me hun. 4 weeks is right in the thick of the hard part too. My son is 10 weeks now and it’s so much better now. I felt exactly like you from about 4 weeks to 8 weeks then things started improving. It’s so hard and us mamas take the brunt of it. Be kind to yourself and remember this too shall pass. It’s a very short period of your other kids lives too and I bet you’re being hard on yourself and they’re just fine. 
Maybe someone can shed some light on PPD but I felt similar and it was just cause it’s such a hard stage, not ppd for me.
