After years of working with new moms my partner and I have developed a term,
definition and causal factor for a what I think all of you are talking
about. We present on it, in combination with our program on "PostPartum
Adjustment Disorder and the Breastfeeding Family" and "Bereavement and it's
impact on the Breastfeeding Family". Please feel free to use it, but do
give us credit.
Term - Cognitive Vacation
Definition - The inability to process information related to thinking,
reasoning, remembering, imagining or learning.
Causal Factors - After delivery, in Hospital
* Stress
*Fatigue
*Medication effects
*Information overload
*Environmetal overload
After going Home
*Increased stress
*Sleep depravation
*Environmental overload or Isolation
*Medical factors
*Depression or Anxiety
Hope you find this info useful. When we present we do expand on each causal
factor
