Yes it can beOriginally Posted by adymarie
Can it be post partum when he is 13 months old?
Helping with his child could also be stress reducingy hubby would help if he knew - he is amazing with the kids, but DR told him that he is a prime candidate for a heart attack right now and he must reduce his stress and anxiety. He works a very physically demanding job and I am afraid for his health.
I think you really need to speak to a doctor about not only the possibility of post partum depression, but also about your child's inability to sleep for extended periods of time.
At 13 months your child should be sleeping more than he is. He should be on solids now (IE: cereals and some fruits and veggies). Talk to the doctor and see if he's getting enough food. Perhaps he's hungry all of the time. Also maybe he's lactose intolerant and is having pain from milk/dairy. It could also be that he's developed a "habit" and knows that when he cries you come running and he gets attention. Sometimes letting a child cry is a necessary thing, especially when it's become a habit.
