I had my baby 2 weeks ago and I'm not excited or attached to him. And I resent that I have to stay at home all the time to feed him. Is this normal or am I sufffering postpartum depression and need to seek medical help?

It's quite normal for you to feel not attached to your baby during the initial days as you are trying to adjust to new baby and the new schedule. Also, due to hormone changes in our body after birth we may feel irritated easily. During this period, try to rest as much as possible and get help from family members to handle baby if you feel tired. If you have problems in sleeping, poor appetite and find yourself crying easily, it might be postpartum depression and should seek help from counselor immediately. http://www.singhealth.com.sg/PatientCare/ConditionsAndTreatments/Pages/Postnatal-Depression-Old.aspx
