CroatiaA new mother shared her experience of an unexpected change in her feelings toward her dog after the arrival of her baby, a phenomenon described by experts as postpartum pet aversion. The woman, named Elen, explained that her previously close bond with her dog had turned into irritation and frustration, leaving her confused and burdened by guilt over emotions she did not expect. Marilyn Cross Coleman, a clinical social worker specializing in perinatal mental health, noted that while this is not an official diagnosis, it is a common reaction among new parents. She explained that emotional and neurological changes after childbirth can lead to such reactions, where once-loved pets become sources of stress or obligation. These feelings often come with guilt or shame, especially since they seem completely out of character. Coleman emphasized that these emotional responses, particularly when accompanied by exhaustion and overwhelm, are key indicators of postpartum pet aversion.
