Postpartum depression is a real thing and very common. I believe it's more of a hormonal response and less about a lack of attention, though

I don't think it's common for women with PPD to kill their child. If anything they kill themselves. I agree it's nothing to do with attention, and I think it's facile and callous to imply otherwise without any factual/scientific basis.
