Postpartum depression generally does not affect the quality of breast milk. Whether a mother with postpartum depression can continue breastfeeding should be comprehensively judged based on the physical condition of the patient. If the depression is relatively mild, then breastfeeding is completely possible. However, if the symptoms of the mother's depression are severe and she is unable to care for the baby herself, then breastfeeding should not continue, and active treatment should be pursued. The decision to resume breastfeeding should be based on the physical condition of the mother. To prevent postpartum depression, it is essential that family members or husbands provide sufficient care and love.
