Postpartum depression can contribute to this

Speaking in an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, Abigail Agyapomaah, a nurse gave insights into the matter.

"Yes, postpartum depression (PPD) can contribute to a mother feeling emotionally disconnected from her baby, and in some severe cases, it may lead to thoughts of abandoning or rejecting the child. It’s a completely normal feeling for most mothers well attributed to hormones."

"PPD is a serious mood disorder that can affect a person after childbirth. It goes beyond the "baby blues" and can cause intense feelings of sadness, hopelessness, worthlessness, and exhaustion. These symptoms can just interfere with the mother’s ability to care for themselves or even their own baby."
