Personalized Postpartum Sleep & Mental Health Decision-Support App

@tulipgrrl Thanks for your thoughtful response! I think CIO may actually go a long way toward curing PPD if it is tolerable for the mother until the point that everyone is sleeping better. I also don't think it's a good first-line response, nor that mothers should be pressured to do CIO. It does work for some mother-baby dyads. It does not work for others. The main point here is that many women feel trapped by the demand that they not attend to their real minimum sleep and wellbeing needs out of fear of harming their baby. PPD, etc. are dangerous and devastating in many cases. Mothers need to be able to problem-solve. This includes moms who are being pressured to do CIO instead of cosleep when their instincts and wellbeing tell them cosleeping is best. But it also includes those for whom cosleeping, constant babywearing, or whatever doesn't work. CIO is of course not a panacea, but I disagree that it never helps struggling mothers. I have never used full-on CIO and don't think it is generally good for babies' nervous systems and for attachment. However, it is also not good for babies for their mother to have a nervous breakdown. Full-on CIO is probably more rarely indicated than one of the many other possible solutions, but I agree with Ivana that it should not be off the table.
