Need suggestion
I am observing following symptoms in my wife:

2. Getting irritated very frequently.
3. Lack of confidence.
And many more difficulties in day to day life. She used to work before we had a baby and has been a full time home maker for last 18 months.
Do u suggest she needs some counselling or medication?

I think initially Counselling would be helpful for her.
Those behaviours could be for various other reasons which may be very trivial too.
Next Steps
Do hell her to meet a counselor in ur city and that itself might help her to come out of her stress.

Hi Thanks for your approach. I think her situation is post pregnancy , there will be lot of ups and down in her emotions, during this period she require a lot of emotional support, If not post pregnancy, then I think she is emotionally disturbed of some matter, feeling of helplessness and no hope /confidence of self. this might be disturbing her routine life also. one more thing, as you have mentioned she was working earlier, normally who are workaholic, will feel in this way if there is an break and family pressure. The best is, at the earliest you can take her to psychologist / counsellor for better assessment, based up on their evaluation if any medication is require, they will help for further step. take care. stay positive.
Health Tips
counselling will help her to the greater extent in handling emotional issues, keep positive environment, give emotional support, if possible she can practice Yoga and meditation

This change in behaviour is not a good sign.It is better if you try to find out what is wrong.Otherwise seeking a psychiatric opinion is important.
