Try and not take it personally am sure she is just stressed out with being a new mum and isnt meaning any harm. She may also be suffering from post natal depression.
dont be confrontational with her but sit her down and tell her you feel she has been quite snappy with you lately and that you want to help her, explain to her that you know she must be under a lot of stress and that you are always there for her if she needs to talk.
Sometimes as friends we just need to take the good with the bad.
