 Sorry to hear about your post-natal-depression. OK - a few random suggestions:
1)Maybe invite his mother or sister over. Let them see how things are. Could they have a word with him.
2)Rather than expecting to just help out when needed - give him certain jobs that need doing , so it's always his job.
3) Or say bathroom is his responsiblity to keep clean.
4) Can he take baby out for long walks to give you a rest.
5) Can he take over looking after baby so you can have whole evening off to bath, chill out, read a book, etc
Hope things get better for you.

 yeah well i understand where you are coming from. my daughter is just turned 7 months. we do tend to nag a lot after childbirth but so we should as they werent the ones that had to go through all the pain so tell your boyfreind you should be putting your feet up while he runs around after you and the child at least once or twice per week. and as for him sayin sometimes to a question like do you love me then theres definatly a problem in that area. he should be telling you he loves you every day as youve gave him the most precious gift a woman could ever give to a man so either way he should love and respect u a hell of a lot more, you are the mother of his child
