As many as 1-in-5 new mothers experiences some type of perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMADs). These illnesses frequently go unnoticed and untreated, often with tragic and long-term consequences to both mother and child.

It’s estimated that 7 in 10 women hide or downplay their symptoms. Without understanding, support and treatment these mental illnesses could have a devastating impact on the women affected and on their partners and families.

Women of every culture, age, income level and race can develop perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Symptoms can appear any time during pregnancy and the first 12 months after childbirth. There are effective and well-researched treatment options available to help women recover.

Tummy time helps your little one build the strength they need for rolling, sitting, crawling, and even walking later on! It also helps prevent flat spots on the back of their head.
You can start from birth by laying your baby on your chest (just make sure you’re wide awake and not as risk of falling asleep). Gradually build it up day by day, and when they’re ready, move tummy time to the floor!
Tummy time helps strengthen your baby’s back, neck, and shoulders — and gives them a whole new view of the world!
Baby now loving tummy time yet? Don’t worry — that’s completely normal!

Here are a few ways to make it easier:
Lay baby on your chest or lap
Sing, talk, and play during tummy time
Place toys within easy reach
Use a small rolled-up towel under their arms for support
Try a little bit every day and build up slowly — your baby will get stronger and more confident before you know it!

We all had one... the baby name we absolutely loved but never got to use.
Maybe your partner said no. Maybe it just didn’t suit your little one when they arrived. Maybe you’re saving it for another day.
Tell us in the comments, what baby name did you love but didn’t use?
Bonus points if you tell us why it didn’t make the final cut…
Tag any parents to be who might want some name inspiration!

Mastitis can come on quickly and leave you feeling sore, unwell and exhausted, especially when you’re already caring for a little one. Knowing the signs early can make a big difference.
If you notice breast pain, redness, swelling, flu-like symptoms or feel generally unwell, it’s important to take action promptly. Keep feeding or expressing regularly, rest where you can, stay hydrated and seek medical advice if symptoms don’t improve or you feel very unwell.
You do not need to struggle through it alone. Support is available, and getting help early can speed up recovery.
Save this post so you know what to look out for, and share with a new parent who might need it.

There is no evidence of any link between vaccines and autism. This has been demonstrated in many studies, conducted across very large populations.
The 1998 study which raised concerns about a possible link between the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism, was found to be seriously flawed and fraudulent. The paper was retracted by the journal that published it, and the doctor that published it lost his medical license.
Unfortunately, its publication created fear that led to dropping immunisation rates in some countries, and subsequent outbreaks of these diseases.
Your baby will have immunisations at 8, 12 and 16 weeks and again at 1 year to protect them against a range of serious infectious diseases.

If you are unsure about whether or not to get your child vaccinated and want to do more research be wary of websites making false claims and make sure you only use credible sources.

To help you find them, the WHO has reviewed and ‘certified’ many websites across the world that only provide information based on reliable scientific evidence and independent reviews by leading technical experts. These websites are all members of the Vaccine Safety Net.
