professional help
she needs to see her OB/GYN and let her true feelings be known
the OB/GYN can then make a referral to a specialist who deal with PP depression
it's a common occurrence and very treatable
get help ASAP before it gets worse

Get out of the house. Keep a steady stream of her friends coming over or go visit them. Go to the library and read up on it.Comment

Is she tending to the baby, or are you having to do that, too?Comment

According to my mother-in-law, who is a retired RN, get with her doctor as soon as possible. Get the on-call person if necessary. Get your direction from them.Comment

Yep - get her some professional help. She's dealing with a miserable feeling. Very common, very normal, but very devastating. Get her some help for a few weeks and she'll be back to her old self.
Good luck.
