My Baby, Psychosis and Me.

Really looking forward to watching "My Baby, Psychosis and Me" tonight on BBC One. The episode will document the story of two brave mothers whose childbirth triggered postpartum psychosis - also touched upon by BBC One's Call the Midwife last Sunday.

"This condition is absolutely treatable and women shouldn't hesitate to seek help, but many hide their symptoms"

Well-being of Future Generations Act

Here is a resource to learn about the Well-Being of Future Generations Act which is from Wales.

I feel it is the first step into a worldwide spread of taking sustainability into consideration especially when concerning children. 

Baby CPR

Here is a brilliant resource for remembering Baby CPR (under one year or very small), as it is different to the older child or adult CPR. Remember - if your child is not breathing than CPR is the best chance of survival for your baby, do not avoid CPR in fear of "hurting" them.


Here's a quick note of what to do:

• Send a bystander to call for an ambulance, if you are alone start CPR immediately (999 or 112 if you have no signal).
• 5 initial breath puffs over nose and mouth. 
• 30 chest pumps (using only two fingers in the center of the chest)
• Two rescue breaths over nose and mouth.
• 30 more chest pumps.
• *** If you are alone and have not called for an ambulance, now is the time to do it after 1 minute of CPR***

Continue 30 chest compression followed by 2 rescue breaths until help arrives!
