I'm 5 pages off finishing this brilliant memoir. It should be prescribed reading for every Dr, Nurse, Physician... and anyone near a new mum: Protect her sleep. Protect her sleep. Protect her sleep.

Hi again. It’s so disappointing to be ignored about this. This still hasn’t been amended despite emails and messages to you and your editors. The lede hasn’t been changed. Mindframe guidelines are clear and you as media have a duty to report responsibility.

Hi @theheraldsun Your journalist @AneekaSimonis has been contacted multiple times to request a sensationalist headline be changed Mindfulness is essential around reporting death by suicide. Given it is about a mother and her infant, due sensitivity and responsibility is lacking

“It means that extremely #vulnerablewomen who are going through a #perinatalillness have nowhere to go. They'll either not receive any care at the worst, or they will be admitted to an #adultmentalhealthunit where they would be separated from their babies” said Dr Rohini Vasudeva
