Seeking to help enhance medical knowledge of #breastfeeding #infantfeeding issues, reduce feeding problems & distress. Interested #GPs ➡️ @GP_IFN

Some GP take homes @ActionOnPP #PreventingMaternalSuicide approx 50% PPP happens ‘out of the blue’ ➡️usual MH risk factors may not apply, having a baby is NOT protective, common early symptoms = elation/lots of energy/not sleeping DON’T overlook disclosed concerns of woman/family

From @ShakespeareJudy @ActionOnPP #PreventingMaternalSuicide in the #perinatal period 💡if you even think of psychosis as the diagnosis don’t wait till tomorrow ☎️pick up the phone & call for help ➡️ the decision is 999/A&E or Perinatal Team (4 hour emergency response)

Listening to #PreventingMaternalSuicide @ActionOnPP shocked by stat that in 34% of tragic cases the highest level of care reached was GP/Mental Health Worker/Health Visitor ➡️ We need to know about this topic and be highly alert to the signs and risks 🚩
