This a great read! This history of the formula companies have a shady past, and always have been about making money thus marketing to undermine breastfeeding. Disappointing the FDA is framing it this way, but absolutely unsurprising. Please read below to better understand how this information is presented to try to influence public and parent perception away from breastfeeding. Thankfully formula is much safer than it used to be and is a medical food that is used when needed and weโ€™re grateful for that advancement. And human milk is perfectly designed for human babies in ways that Artificial milk (aka formula) simply canโ€™t replicate.

Is it PPD, PPA, or POCD? ๐Ÿ’ญ

Maternal mental health doesnโ€™t look just one way, and symptoms can show up anytime during pregnancy or postpartum.

What youโ€™re feeling might be:
โ€ข Depression
โ€ข Anxiety
โ€ข OCD
โœณ๏ธ Perinatal Mental Health Disorders also include bipolar mood disorders, PTSD, and psychosis. โœณ๏ธ

All are common, temporary, and treatable, but they do require support.

Too often, parents experience symptoms like: irritability, racing thoughts, guilt, sadness, intrusive thoughts, or constant worryโ€ฆ and donโ€™t realize thereโ€™s a name for it.

When we connect the dots, we make maternal mental health visible.
And when itโ€™s visible, it becomes treatable, supportable, and understood.

โ€œWHO strongly recommends supporting women to have a chosen companion during labor and childbirth.โ€๐Ÿ“ฃ

The evidence is undisputed about the benefits of having that emotional, psychological, and practical support during labor and childbirth; benefits that include a shorter length of time in labor, decreased caesarean section rates, and more positive health indicators for babies in the first five minutes after birth.

Companions can:

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฟ bridge communication gaps between laboring patients and their healthcare team,
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ offer massage or hand-holding to help relieve pain, and
๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿป provide reassurance to help the person in labor feel in control.

And as an advocate, a labor companion can also witness and safeguard against mistreatment or neglectโ—๏ธ

The World Health Organization (WHO) urges global actors to professional organizations and healthcare providers to community networks and women's groups to play a role in advocating for labor companions.

And couldnโ€™t agree more.๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ
