Breastfeeding can be a beautiful way to bond with your baby, but for many parents, it comes with emotional and mental health challenges. During World Breastfeeding Week this August, we recognize both the benefits of breastfeeding and the pressures, struggles, and emotional weight it can carry.

Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week this May reminds us of the importance of supporting new mothers not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. While the postpartum period is often portrayed as a time of joy and bonding, it can also bring unexpected emotional challenges.
