My lo is a little over 3 weeks old. I've been crying at least once a day since she was 5 days old. I figured it was baby blues but I feel like its getting worse. I get in a mood where I want nothing to do with anyone, not even my baby. I thank God that bfing didn't work out so that I can give her to someone for however long my mood lasts. I feel like the worst mom ever looking at my new baby knowing I'm her everything and half the time I don't even want to touch her. I just don't know how I can go from loving her and showering her with affection to wanting nothing to do with her. And I really wish it wasn't like that and that I could stop crying. Does this sound like ppd? I'm going to call my dr in a few hrs when they open but I'm losing my mind here.
