During the postpartum blues women are emotionally labile,often crying easily and for no apparent reason.This lability seems to peak around the fifth postpartum day.The letting-go phase is the period that occurs several weeks postdelivery.During this phase the woman wants to move forward as a family unit with all members interacting appropriate to their new roles.PPD is an intense,pervasive sadness marked by severe,labile mood swings;it is more serious and persistent than the postpartum blues.Crying is not a maladaptive attachment response;it indicates postpartum blues.
