The Coexistence of Postpartum Depression with Infantile Colic and Sleep Problems

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aims to examine the factors that can cause postpartum depression (PPD) form others who gave birth at Şan Med Hospital in Şanlıurfa. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on volunteer mother-baby couples who were born in Şanlıurfa Şan Med Hospital and were admitted to Şan Med Hospital Pediatrics Polyclinic between September 2017 and December 2017. Participants were asked to provide some information about themselves and their babies, as well as their babies’ crying and sleeping patterns. The Edinburgh postpartum depression scale (EPDS) was administered to the mothers. Results: It was determined that the frequency of PPD increased by 2.73-folds for mothers whose babies cried excessively, and by 2.79-folds for the mothers whose babies had unconsolable crying/restlessness lasting 2-3 hours a day. The results indicated that the risk of PPD was 6.86-folds higher in mothers of infants who awoke frequently, as compared to the mothers of infants who had regular sleep patterns. Conclusion: Infantile colic and prolonged crying are factors in the incidence of maternal depression.
