“Mom-to-mom support helps postpartum depression: study” reports CBC
Friday, January 16th, 2009I just saw the report CBC did on a study out of Toronto about mom-to-mom suppport helping with postpartum depression, particularly that phone contact with other moms helped lower postpartum depression in new moms. This is great!!! New moms really need more support and help because there seems to be lots of support before the pregnancy, and then slowly support disappears within days or a couple weeks after the baby is born.
It is great to connect with other moms! I know that I make an effort to get in touch with other moms by phone and in person, even if it’s for coffee/tea or a play date once a week.
We would love to hear from other moms if they have any ideas of how we could support each other. Just submit a comment and we’ll post it!
