Topic Description :

Post Natal Depression.  Links between poor infant sleep and maternal depression. How to both resolve and prevent PND

Learning Objective:

  • PND is a common problem with significant consequences for families, parents and infants.
  • Today we discus a technique which rapidly improves maternal depression, anxiety and stress.
  • If children sleep well, family well-being improves rapidly.
  • Problematic infant sleep can be improved within 2-4 nights.
  • Our work in Australia has shown strong levels of protection from the development of PND using proactive care of infant well-being from the time of birth.
