Dear mummies and daddies, my husband is not bonding well with the LO and he has become frustrated and showing signs of violence and abuse (not to me or the LO but still concern). I think he is suffering from PND. Anyone daddies here have similar experience and can recommend any solution or pyschiatrist? I've called KKH PND support group but they only counsel mothers. TIA.

Is he having stresses at work? Try to talk more to your husband and concern about him. Sometimes when the baby has come into the family, mummy tends to neglect husband as too occupied with the baby. Try to raise your concern over his acts and ways of handling baby. I believe no parent will harm their own little child. Maybe what he needs is a stress management help.

Is Your hubby spending more time with the baby? Not just playing or feeding the bottle but spending the time bathing, talking and even singing to put the baby to sleep. My Son is 6 month old now. I used to feel frustrated and tend to be aggressive too. I hit the wall with my fist and raise my voice but never abusive toward my Wife and child

There is a type of depression known as irritable depression, which your husband might be suffering from. Do contact a mental health professional. Any sign of violence or abuse must be taken seriously as you never know when he might lay hands on you or the baby. https://www.imh.com.sg/contact-us/

if that going serious you can try IMH they have some specialist there for help. stress for work or others stresses they have some check up if really have Depression they have pill for help.

My husb turned imaginative and passive aggressive aft our first child was born. On and off he sees a counselor but I feel there's no improvement. Good to get professional psychiatrist

Don't seem to have any psychiatrists in Singapore that deals with paternal postnatal depression but I do believe the regular psychiatrists would be able to handle the case.

Get him to join the dads group here on parent town. What about giving him some time off?

Try to seek help from other support group like dads for life? Www.dadsforlife.com
