Postpartum Mental Healthcare for You and Your Baby

The postpartum period is a powerful time full of change and vulnerability.  The shift of hormones after birth, combined with sleep deprivation, physical recovery, and the demands of caring for a newborn, can affect your mood, energy, and full sense of self. If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, detached, or unlike yourself, you're not alone, and it’s not your fault.

 Postpartum depression, anxiety, and other mood challenges are very common during this phase. What’s important to know is: you deserve care, and your well-being directly supports your baby’s well-being.

Infants are deeply attuned to emotional states, and when you’re struggling, it can directly affect how you connect with and respond to your newborn, and this connection plays a critical role in their emotional and neurological development. That’s why treating postpartum mental health isn’t just about feeling better, it’s about supporting the foundation of your newborn's healthy start in life.
