I don't think that you need to jail them, there may be ways of predicting who would suffer from PPD with a reasonably good accuracy. If you look at all these stories about these mothers, these women have typically been without any supporting resources. This may be due to poverty, religion, etc. That is the first step, ensuring that after the birth and for the first 8 to 12 weeks, ensure that mothers with new borns should have a certain degree of support - psychological, nutritional , and health related at the minimum. have some sort of social worker who specializes in parents with new born infants do in home visits a couple of times a week. The result in the long term would be a lot cheaper than jailing the women, especially after they've killed or seriously injure the kid.
