New mum here and am worried that my PND/PNA will be getting picked up by my 7 week old and having an impact on him in some way. He's started smiling but doesn't always smile and make eye contact. He seems to prefer staring at walls am trying not to think the worst I know he's only 7 weeks but the anxiety is hard to ignore. Am reading they can pick up out mood and tension am so scared I'll have a negative impact on him Sad
