The Postpartum Husband: Practical Solutions for living with Postpartum Depression

I bought this for my husband...but decided I better read it first & make sure it was saying what I needed it to say. It said what I wanted & More! Helped him understand better & also reminded me, YOURE NOT ALONE!!

I read that book when I was depressed during my pregnancy. In a very simple and elegant way it explains the causes and consequences of depression for both husband and wife. I like the book so much, that I took notes, and I never do that! It's easy and fast to read, and very-very helpful for partners of depressed women, as well as the women themselves.

Great read as a first time parent

I think the bullet-point format is excellent for supportive partners who don't particularly want or need to dive too deep, but need simple guidelines on how to be helpful. I'm eager to see the updated edition which will have language that is inclusive of partners who are not husbands.

I was recommended this book by my postpartum therapist. My husband said it would have been more helpful had he had it before I had PPD but it was nice to have some of our struggles normalized. I would recommend this for any pregnant mama that might be struggling. I forgot how hard it can be to be a partner of someone who is struggling.

This book is a quick read written mostly as bulleted lists with suggestions for husbands. Most of what is here is intuitive and the book definitely assumes that the mother feels she is mothering poorly. My struggle with postpartum was not that I felt like I was a bad mother, but depression and anger in many other ways, so this book was not helpful to my situation.

Recommended by my doctor. Great info. Very beneficial for husbands to understand how to help you through postpartum.

Very quick read, basic information. If you are looking for any thing of substance keep looking. If you are looking for beginning highlights, hopefully it isn't expensive.

Excellent book for husbands and partners or family members of women with postpartum depression. Simple and to the point with specific things to say and avoid saying. How to better communicate and support a woman coping with a postpartum mood disorder. How to cope as a husband or partner. This book is a must have!

Quick read and helps when you are dealing with an angry, stressful situation. There isn't much help out there for husbands.

I bought this book for my husband to help him understand what I was going through with my post partum depression. It was good that everything was in nice bullet points.
