I’m delighted to say that I’ve had a ⁦#zoom call with Santa this morning to discuss his route! We have cleared the airspace for him and he’s started to pack the sleigh! Santa had a specific request of you kids: - Stay safe - Be kind - Have fun Merry Christmas!

As if we weren't all exhausted & burnt out already 😵 The latest news is weighing heavy on our hearts & minds. Anger, frustration & sadness over lost Christmas. Now fear & panic as boarders close. We all need extra uplifting support right now! Our gift: bit.ly/3reIXMt

In the last 30 days, visits to our maternal mental wellbeing guidance have increased by 42%. There is a clear and present need for this information. Please share to help us reach more mums who may be struggling with their mental health during lockdown: bit.ly/2Td0SDn

These are the many and varied faces of mental illness. Today is World Mental Health Day. Let's talk about mental illness with the same kindness and empathy we do any other illness. Let's be open and honest about our struggles.💜 #WorldMentalHealthDay
Thank you to @_prosperitys who highlighted that some of the recent terminology we used was not acceptable. We always welcome being educated to do better. Apologies if anyone was offended.
The Motherhood Group , along with our friends at the @PMHPUK, have organised Black Maternal Mental Health Week. Please follow @MotherhoodGroup to find out more. #BMMHW2020 #bmmhw20 #blackmentalhealthmatters

I’m sorry @WHO but hospitals can support BOTH #breastfeeding and formula feeding, without making some mums’ only option so very much harder. Making formula inaccessible in postnatal settings causes huge amount of unnecessary stress, anxiety & sleeplessness.
Replying to @WHO
Hospitals 🏥 can support mothers to breastfeed by not promoting infant formula, bottles or teats. Support #breastfeeding 🤱🏽🤱🏿 #WorldBreastfeedingWeek

I'm reviving the #PNDChat hashtag. We used it in the early yrs for additional support between each #PNDHour. It's not monitored 24/7 but tweets will be checked daily. It's a way to build that community that is so important when you have postnatal depression. #PNDFamily plsRT 💜
