BEIJING, Aug. 29 -- The mother of a seven-month-old baby published a post on one of China's popular online forums, xisihutong, saying that she was irredeemably hating her newborn baby, who has snatched away most of her time and most of her husband's care and attention!

    Although she knows it's not right to dislike her own baby, she cannot help doing so. Worried by her mixed feelings, the young mum is seeking help from the netizen community. To her surprise, many other new mothers expressed the same kind of concerns in their replies, Nanjing Morning Post reported the story.

    Most of the new mothers were born in the 1980s, known as the "post-80s generation". They grew up with the love of their parents. And even after getting married, they remained as the centre of attention in their family. But now, without being fully-prepared, they have become mothers, relinquishing their right to a monopoly on attention.

    "Are we suffering from postpartum depression?" Many of them questioned.

    Fan Jianxiong, a psychotherapist from a local hospital in Nanjing, said that it's rather an emotional problem than a postpartum depression. Young women who are not independent and are used to being spoiled by their family are prone to this problem, said Fan.

    To solve the problem, the expert advised the patients to seek professional psychological help. And at the same time, he also suggested that new daddies should equally distribute their attention and don't ignore caring for wives after the birth of a baby.
