Love this program. Recognising the need for further postpartum support is finally gaining momentum.

New mothers who receive home visits from maternal health nurses have less depression and anxiety than those who attend baby health centres, research finds.

🛑 NEW SUPPORT GROUP! 🛑

Postpartum Psychosis (PPP) is rare. It occurs in approximately 1 to 2 out of every 1,000 deliveries.

After a PPP survivor's symptoms have been stabilized, peer support can be an important tool for recovery. Because PPP occurs less often than other perinatal mood disorders, survivors can go their whole lives without meeting another PPP survivor.

In response, PSI has created an online peer-to-peer support group for PPP survivors. This group is intended for those who are in recovery (no longer experiencing psychosis). Whether your PPP experience was relatively recent or years ago, you are welcome to attend our free, online peer-to-peer support group.

Thank you, Peachymama - Breastfeeding Clothes for posting this! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Honoring all of the bottlefeeding mamas.⁣

There isn't a day that goes by in my clincial practice that moms don't share about the grief they experience for not being able to breastfeed. ⁣
⁣
Many try for weeks and even months at a cost of their mental health to try and make it work. ⁣
⁣
Feeding your baby is a bonding and nurturing experience regardless of the way you feed! ⁣
⁣
Whatever the reason, by choice or not, you are worthy ❤️⁣

Ps. I'm experimenting with drawing my own illustrations, it is making my feed and the colors of my feed a bit different as Im experimenting with this new way of creating posts. Bare with me as I find and settle into a new style. It's a learning process ❤️⁣

Medical Xpress: The number of times a person gives birth may affect how quickly they age.
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-11-person-birth-affect-quickly-age.html

Thoughts? It made for an interesting read and the research is in it's early stages. But I wonder if the aging is a correlation with the investment of energy a parent puts towards the care of their child in their lifetime?

Having children doesn't just make you feel like you've aged overnight—a new study led by Penn State researchers found that the number of times a person gives birth may also affect the body's physical aging process.
