We understand that it's very hard to keep your house cool in this hot weather, so it's important to regularly monitor your baby’s temperature so they don't get too hot.

[Maternal Mental Health Alliance @MMHAlliance]

Around 1 in 5 women will develop a mental illness during pregnancy or within the 1st postnatal year. The human and economic cost of not treating perinatal mental illness is significant, which is why we want to make maternal mental health #everyonesbusiness. #WorldMentalHealthDay
