I'm trying to "help myself" so to speak not get PND, I know not everybody suffers but I want to give myself the best chance of not getting it.
One of the big things we've said is no visitors for the first few days when we've come home. We've done this so that it gives us as his parents chance to bond & get to know our baby and for him to get to know us!
One of the other things I was worried about is too much handling (by family/friends) I don't want other people to be saying 'i'll do this, i'll do that!' and us not getting a look in. I know we've got the rest of his life to do things for him, but to me the first however many months seem most important for bonding!
Because I've never suffered with PND (obviosly as 1st baby) I wondered if anybody else has any tips of what to do and what not to do, or things that just helped you bond quicker/easier/better with your baby?
