• Having a challenging baby who cries more than usual, is hard to comfort, or whose sleep and hunger needs are irregular and hard to predict
• Having a baby with special needs (premature birth, medical complications, illness)
• First-time motherhood, very young motherhood, or older motherhood
• Other emotional stressors, such as the death of a loved one or family problems
