And psychiatry alone is never a good idea. I know, I spent a year figuring it out.

But the kids do need to go to someplace safe. This doesn't mean the mother can never be around them in a mild state of this--but somebody should be around (read: in the house) with them at all times. You don't want to make somebody that's mildly depressed feel inadequate, as they're likely to get over it. One of the worst things somebody can do with mild depression is give up on daily routines.

Now of course if they're severely post partem then they shouldn't be allowed around the babies until they are gettin better, and still be supervised with the child.
