Treatment of postpartum psychosis in a mother-baby unit: do both mother and baby benefit?

CONCLUSIONS:: The mother-baby unit enabled severely ill women to remain with their infants during treatment. While a minority of infants showed developmental concerns, appropriate development was noted in most. Future efforts should focus on determining the most effective treatments and further defining the risks and benefits for infants in mother-baby units.
