❤️ Today Holly and Steph were on the postnatal ward (C23) at Warrington Hospital where they met some beautiful, strong Mamas and their partners navigating those first few days of parenthood 👶🏻 and some gorgeous parents-to-be awaiting their arrivals ✨

They’ll be there every week to help normalise conversations around emotional wellbeing during those early days 🥰 If you see them wandering around the ward, give them a wave - they’d love to chat to you!! 💚

We know many were upset to see this on live TV yesterday and we want to reassure you that you are not selfish for your choices, and how hard it can be to breast feed and also not breast feed.

It is not for anyone else to put heavy judgement on 💚 Especially when it can be inaccurate information inside the opinion.

So we echo Olivia's words here from NCT 👇and we are always thinking about how so much of parenting is selfless.

We also send our thoughts to all the hard wording infant feeding teams that work tirelessly to make sure parents feel supported and informed about their choices and experiences ⭐

Stronger Together – World Maternal Mental Health Day 2025 💚

This video by St Helens PIM SDM Kelly is all about connection, support and showing up for each other.

On World Maternal Mental Health Day, (..and most other days 😋) we're shining a light on the power of peer support - how sharing our stories, listening without judgment, and being there can make all the difference.

Whether you're a parent who’s been through it, someone still finding your way, a volunteer, or part of an organisation trying to help - you’re part of something bigger. Every kind word, shared experience, and small act of support matters.

We are stronger together. And no one should have to face this alone. 💚

DAY TWO of Maternal Mental Health Awareness week: Walking with you as you find your voice 👣

Our volunteers and staff have walked the walk so that we can empower you to know that voicing your feelings, or taking time to feel the value in your voice is your power, your strength and unique journey.

That's the beauty of peer support - we will wear our vulnerabilities to connect you with the strength it has taken for you to wear yours and feel ok in knowing we all need a little help along the parenting way 💚
