Today we hold space on world mental health day.

This day brings awareness to the importance of mental health which is something we see daily in our practice. Postpartum mood disorders are more common than people know, even for partners too!

It is part of our role as lactation consultants to create a safe space for families to share their thoughts and feelings, especially with their changing lives postpartum. We also play a vital role in connecting our families with mental health support - which is why we are beyond thankful to have our friends at Apricity Perinatal Counseling and The Center for Perinatal Mental Health. The amazing providers in these spaces have extensive training in supporting perinatal families through fertility, loss, birth trauma, and postpartum mood disorders. This level of support is rare to find and we are so lucky to have them right in our community!

Take today to honor yourself and use this as your sign to prioritize your mental health. The most loved babies have parents who love on themselves too!

For the babies deeply loved and deeply missed. For the pregnancies that ended too soon. For the families carrying stories they never imagined they would have to carry.

Your grief matters. Your baby matters. Your story matters. 🤍

With school right around the corner, we wanted to support the families and teachers of Menasha so they can have a little less to worry about as they continue to navigate all of this uncertainty. Mal’s Milky Way and I have teamed up to gather donations all month long! Please feel free to drop off any supplies listed to our Kaukauna offices. Thank you for supporting and raising up Menasha!

We are devastated to hear about all the families affected by Monday’s tornado that touched down in the Fox Valley.

As parents, it’s natural to want to make everything better. But what children often need most is your calm, loving presence.

🤍 Support your child by:
• Being honest with age-appropriate information. Answer their questions simply and truthfully.
• Naming emotions. Let them know it’s okay to feel scared, sad, angry, or confused.
• Reassuring them about what is true today. Instead of promising nothing bad will happen again, remind them, “We’re together. We’re safe right now. There are people helping us.”
• Expecting changes in behavior. Clinginess, nightmares, trouble sleeping, irritability, or regression are common responses to stress.
• Creating simple routines. Familiar meals, bedtime stories, and small daily rituals help children feel more secure.
• Prioritizing connection over having the “right” words. Listening, cuddling, playing, and simply being present are incredibly healing.

🤍 Parents, this includes you too.

Your children don’t need you to be perfect—they need you to be supported.

Accept help when it’s offered. Stay hydrated, eat when you can, rest whenever possible, and lean on trusted friends, family, or professionals. Taking care of your own nervous system helps you better support your child’s.

Healing doesn’t happen all at once. It grows through small moments of safety, consistency, love, and connection.

If your child continues to experience intense distress, nightmares, withdrawal, or significant changes in daily functioning for several weeks after the disaster, consider reaching out to a mental health professional.

💛 To every family rebuilding after this disaster: Be gentle with yourselves. Healing takes time, and you don’t have to do it alone. Stay tuned, as we are actively finding ways Apricity can help support those in need!
