When answering the question re "will a six week old remember"As someone who has just gotten through post natal depression, i found myself feeling quite upset with some of the responses. Irealise that my circumstances were different from those of the poster but at certain times when at my lowest, i ashamed to say that i shouted at my child when she cried. I didnt know what she wanted and as i wasnt myself, i took my frustration out in tht way. I did always feel guilty after thid which made my depression worse, but thankfully i am now over it and my daughter and i are so happy. But when reading the responses, and someone saying that it is abuse to shout, i would just like to say that all circumstances are different. i would neverabuse my child, the idea turns my stomach, i got help. just spare a thought for those who are going through PND. Also, dads can go through it too.
