Your last two sentences don’t make sense. If she was suffering from postpartum psychosis then it was likely the psychosis that made her kill her own children and try to take her own life. These are not separate facts, they are one and the same. Postpartum psychosis hijacks your brain.

It alters your perceptions, it does not alter who you are. Even in the depths of psychosis a person is still aware of themselves. Destruction, self harm, lashing out are all understandable from someone at their most desperate and confused. But child murderers are just child murderers.
