Some tools to help support Mom
Sometimes Mom will know exactly what she needs. Sometimes she won’t. Here are a few tools to help keep the support coming either way.
Baby Blues vs PPD Guide
Moms with new babies may sometimes feel worried, irritable, and tearful. This is known as the “baby blues” and it’s quite common. But, depending on when these feelings begin, how intense they are, and how long they last, they may indicate something more serious: postpartum depression (PPD). Use this guide to learn more and encourage Mom to see a healthcare provider if needed.
Symptom Journal
As a member of Mom’s team, it is important for you to understand the signs and symptoms of PPD. This journal will help you know what to look for so that you know when it may be time to encourage Mom to talk to her healthcare provider.
