Angelina Jolie’s Post Partum Depression??

Angelina Jolie is struggling to cope following the birth of her two-month-old twins Vivienne and Knox, according to new reports. The mother of six has been holed up at the Château Miraval in Provence, France, since the birth and has not been seen save for a family photo shoot last month. Sources claim the Lara Croft star is exhausted by the sleepless nights and has called in doctors over concerns for her newborns' health. The babies are said by the National Enquirer to be suffering from colic, a common but largely unexplained condition that causes repeated episodes of excessive and inconsolable crying. Meanwhile insiders told America's In Touch magazine that their constant state of distress has caused Angelina to slip into 'depression mode', prompting fears she may be suffering post-natal depression. 'The 33-year-old 'has been trying to control her emotions' around her older children Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2, but 'her mood swings have been hard on the entire family,' according to the source. 'She has been staying in bed most of the time, all she does is sleep. She has little energy and has to force herself to remember to eat because she is still breast feeding. 'She cries at the drop of a hat and laughs at inappropriate times.'

  • What might help Angelina especially since she is nursing is to give up dairy. I read her daily diet is milk, cheese and bread when she eats. These foods cause stomach distress in many children and adults. Since she is nursing her twins are getting a reaction to her diet which is dairy based. She needs to cut out the milk and cheese and find other foods to eat. Her twins colic could be lessened and their gas/ and cramps.

  • Poor Angelina. . .I know what it's like. I'm just barely getting over mine after giving birth in November 2007.
