✋It’s Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

This year’s theme, set by eating disorder charity Beat , focuses on the power of community and the vital role family, friends, and other support networks play in helping someone feel supported, understood, and never alone on their journey from seeking help to undergoing treatment and beyond.❤

📍In Northamptonshire, our Eating Disorder Service (for 18+) and Children and Young People’s Community Eating Disorder Service, support people aged 5 and above, along with their families and carers, to help them recover safely.

Throughout the week, our teams will be sharing helpful information and guidance on where to find more support.

🗨 What is an eating disorder?
Eating disorders are complex mental health illnesses affecting people of all ages, genders, ethnicities and backgrounds. They involve disordered eating behaviours, which may include:
👉 Restricting the amount of food eaten
👉 Eating large quantities of food in one go
👉 Trying to get rid of food through unhealthy behaviours (such as making yourself sick, misusing laxatives, fasting, or excessive exercise)
👉 A combination of these behaviours

It’s important to remember that eating disorders are not all about food itself, but about feelings. An eating disorder is never the fault of the person experiencing it, and anyone who has an eating disorder deserves compassionate support to help them get better.

If you are worried about yourself or someone you care about, support is available:
⭐Speak to your GP to discuss your concerns
⭐ Visit Beat Eating Disorders for advice and support: www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/
⭐Explore our Eating Disorders webpage for more advice and guidance: www.nhft.nhs.uk/eating-disorders

You’re never alone in seeking help, and support is always within reach.

With Ramadan beginning this week, today we're sharing some information from our guest blog post - Supporting Breastfeeding During Ramadan.

"As peer supporters, we have great duty in supporting mums to feel empowered to achieve their goals by giving information so their decisions are informed. Supporting mothers during Ramadan is no different to helping mums reduce factors that may have a negative impact on their breast feeding or supply.

Things to consider are:

✨Mums will need to eat high nutrient dense food such as date, fruits and nuts to help replace the magnesium, zinc and potassium levels that may reduce during fasting.

✨Avoid drinking too many caffeinated drinks and replace with water, fresh fruits juice, herbal teas and green smoothies.

✨If a mum is fasting during the winter months which can fall between 10/12hrs of fasting, this is much easier as the sunset is much earlier and they have a longer period to eat and drinking during dawn. So really its like having a very late lunch.

For peer supporters who are not Muslim or who may not know much about Ramadan, it is imperative to keep in mind that choice should always be at the forefront of any breastfeeding journey and the support we provide will very much be based on an individual case by case basis. It’s also okay to say I’m not sure and signpost/refer mums to other sources for more information.

EDIT - Fasting while breastfeeding is not an expectation, but you can choose to if you wish, and it is safe for you to do so. If you are considering fasting while breastfeeding, you may find it helpful to talk a health professional.

Please remember, if you need breastfeeding support, our National Breastfeeding Helpline UK is available 24/7 💜

You can also find out if we have a service near you on our website:

Are your children up to date with their immunisations? You can check this in their red book, or if you are unsure please call the practice and we will be able to check their medical records and ensure that they are up to date and arrange any appointments as needed with our Practice Nurses.

We are seeing a rise in measles cases in parts of England.

Vaccination is the most effective way to protect children from serious illness.

We’re encouraging parents to check their children are up to date with their vaccinations. Check your child's red book or speak to their GP practice.
