Today is Mental Health Awareness Day!

Today, we shine a light on the importance of mental health, especially for breastfeeding mothers. This journey can be a beautiful yet challenging experience, and it’s crucial to prioritize both physical and mental well-being.

Signs of Postpartum Depression:
- Persistent sadness or hopelessness
- Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed
- Significant changes in appetite or sleep patterns
- Extreme fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Increased irritability or anxiety
- Feelings of guilt or shame as a mother
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Withdrawal from social interactions
- Intrusive thoughts of harming yourself or your baby

If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, please don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Resources like the Postpartum Support International (PSI) helpline (1-800-944-4773) and local mental health services can provide the support you need.

Remember, taking care of your mental health is just as essential as caring for your baby. You’re not alone on this journey!

Today marks the start of the first ever Deaf & Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Week! As an allied partner with the Deaf community, the DC Breastfeeding Coalition fostered the initiation of the first-ever Deaf and Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Collective. The theme for this first-of-its-kind observance is "Close the Gap Bridge the Divide: Establish Breastfeeding Support Access."

The purpose of this initiative is to provide the nation's marginalized and underrepresented Deaf community with accessible breastfeeding education, support, and community, because language and breastfeeding access matters from birth! Follow Deaf & Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding to keep up with the observance's activities.
