So heres the history. My sil just had her frist baby in October of 2005 a beuatiful little girl. The father has had NOTHING to do with the baby or her since he found out that she was preggo. Since she came home she has been real irritable and crying ALOT like at least once a day!!!! She has never had any bad feelings toward her baby, but recently she has been really snappy toward my dd (which is 2.5). I work and we pay her (sil) to watch my dd so that dd doesnt have to be in a daycare. So I guess my question is does any one think that she might have a case of PPD? I love my sil more than if she was my own family, I cannot bear to see her like this and also what if her PPD(?) becomes an issue concerning my dd, like what should I do if I think she will hurt dd? How should we go about treating this issue? She doesn't have ins or any medical coverage. I would just like to know how to help her.Thanks in advance for any advice
