A Way for Spouses/Partners/Father's to be An Active Participant with an Infant

(*note: we use the term Dad/Dads throughout the article, but this is to also represent spouse/significant other/partner; and Mother/Mom to represent birthing person) Having a new born is never easy, and it takes a village to raise a child. So, what are some things Dads can do to help Mothers out after the baby is born? Often times, Dads can feel left out during the process after having a new born. However, they don’t have to feel that way because there is many things they can do to create a stronger bond with the baby while also helping and being supportive to their partner. In this blog, the topics covered are how Dads can create that strong bond with their new born, along with doing little actions to help the Mother out.

Postpartum Mental Health

Postpartum Mental Health             The month of May brings Mental Health Awareness to the table. This is a topic that is serious, but never talked about enough because there is a stigma for an individual to be open about having depression and anxiety. This shame towards individuals who struggle with their mental health can also be seen in mothers with postpartum depression.             It’s a common occurrence for mothers to have what is called the “baby blues” after giving birth which involves having the feeling of unhappiness, worry, mood swings, and fatigue. The baby blues affects up to 80% of mothers after having their baby. This is caused by a significant drop in the hormones estrogen and progesterone that leads to a chemical change in the brain after the baby has been born. Fortunately, the baby blues only last a week or two before going away on their own. However, about 10-20% of women do not experience a relief in these symptoms, which leads to postpartum depre
