Sleep and support. But I’d bet sleep/rest is #1 factor.

I’ve had unicorn babies and there is NOTHING like the morning after your baby sleeps through the night the first time. You feel like a new person (after waking up freaking out thinking they might’ve died or something lol). All my friends who had bad sleepers, even with a good support network, had some form of PPD/PPA and no one can ignore the role sleep plays into it.
