In the UK 80% of women stop breastfeeding before they want to, leading to a range of negative emotions and grief. If you stopped breastfeeding before you were ready, reach out for support if you need it. The NBH can provide emotional support even if you have stopped feeding.

❤️So important for us to find safe space to explore what we needed in those moments of reactivity. #fayeandteddy #LoveIsland #mentalhealth #trauma

I think we have to talk about how we write about children in the #EducationalPsychology profession. I think by now most will have heard the "write it thinking the child will read it when they are older". But I think we need to go deeper than that. 🧵

This morn finds me at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. One of the sentences in my report? “Infant attachment experiences are core to the development of a person’s self-regulatory system.”

Tomorrow, I'll share a specific example of what this looks like! 😍#play #playfulparenting

Why Home Birth Matters is a clear discussion of the reality of modern home birth, which aims to show how the home environment supports and powers the birth process, while encouraging parents to consider how it might work for them. #homebirth #WIM #evidencebased #FeedbackFriday

There has been a lot of talk of preparing new school starters over the last few weeks and lots of discussions about how to help them with big feelings as they settle in, but one huge missing part of the conversation is talking about how the *parents* feel.

It often takes us mums by surprise just how much these tiny humans can flip our world upside down & make us rethink what matters in life. Until we experience it & go on this very unique journey of motherhood, it’s hard to imagine how things will change.

So today I was in a primary where the head wants children to eat lunch in silence. I was with the very youngest who, since they could talk, have not had enough opportunities for informal social interaction. What on earth?🤦🏻‍♀️ #nohopeforrecovery

Absolutely inspiring to read Maternal Journal written by very talented authors Laura Godfrey-Isaacs (she/her) & @missmcgowan, aimed to promote positive mental health & wellbeing through the parenting journey. Truly wonderful concept.

Psychotherapist Lucy Beresford on late night BBC News (World) News tonight, talking about the pandemic, using terms inc ‘cortisol’ & ‘fight or flight’, saying “our bodies aren’t designed to live with uncertainty like this for extended periods”.
