Low mood is a normal phenomenon post-child birth. With all of the hormonal changes that occur, in in combination with the stress of a major life change and lack of sleep, women often feel like their not their usual self.
The most common medication to help women is anti-depressants, however many women are reluctant to go down this path while breastfeeding.
Depending on the severity of the low mood, natural medicine can be used to help women suffering from low mood and/or post-partum depression.
Medicines like saffron, fish oil, B vitamins, B12, vitamin D, and many others can all be used during breastfeeding to help with depression.
The first step is to get a proper evaluation to determine the severity of low mood, and if post-partum depression is diagnosed. The next step is to talk about the appropriate options given the severity level.
