Between 5% and 25% of all new mothers are thought to suffer some form of post-natal depression, and can find it hard to cope with the demands of the baby, or even to form a bond with it.
Solomon overcame her post-natal depression and did not suffer with PND after the birth of her second son Leighton, but although she feels like she can put this all behind her now, she still carries with her feelings of guilt.
The caller thought that the woman might be suffering from post-natal depression and, due to the baby's vulnerability, the NSPCC said its helpline advisor referred the case to the local council's children's services so they could assess the child's safety.
