I’m delighted to say that I’ve had a ⁦#zoom call with Santa this morning to discuss his route! We have cleared the airspace for him and he’s started to pack the sleigh! Santa had a specific request of you kids: - Stay safe - Be kind - Have fun Merry Christmas!

As if we weren't all exhausted & burnt out already 😵 The latest news is weighing heavy on our hearts & minds. Anger, frustration & sadness over lost Christmas. Now fear & panic as boarders close. We all need extra uplifting support right now! Our gift: bit.ly/3reIXMt

In the last 30 days, visits to our maternal mental wellbeing guidance have increased by 42%. There is a clear and present need for this information. Please share to help us reach more mums who may be struggling with their mental health during lockdown: bit.ly/2Td0SDn

I’m sorry @WHO but hospitals can support BOTH #breastfeeding and formula feeding, without making some mums’ only option so very much harder. Making formula inaccessible in postnatal settings causes huge amount of unnecessary stress, anxiety & sleeplessness.

Hospitals 🏥 can support mothers to breastfeed by not promoting infant formula, bottles or teats. Support #breastfeeding 🤱🏽🤱🏿 #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

I'm reviving the #PNDChat hashtag. We used it in the early yrs for additional support between each #PNDHour. It's not monitored 24/7 but tweets will be checked daily. It's a way to build that community that is so important when you have postnatal depression. #PNDFamily plsRT 💜

The pandemic and the restrictions it has caused has had an effect on all of us but it has been particularly difficult for those with mental health problems.

Big shout out to the mums and dads sending kids back to school and childcare today. Lots of big emotions: worrying if you are doing the right thing, hoping they are going to be ok, missing having them around...

More than 1 in 10 women will develop a mental illness during or after pregnancy. Although there are factors that increase risk, anyone can be affected, regardless of background, medical history, single or multiple pregnancy, or if they lose their baby. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
