We are witnessing pregnant and postpartum parents living in fear. Avoiding hospitals, facing separation from their children, and enduring trauma during one of the most vulnerable periods of life. This directly impacts the families we serve, and our staff who support them, and it runs counter to everything we know about prevention, safety, and health in the perinatal period. Perinatal Support Washington stands with families and providers, and we believe it takes all of us speaking up to help create the world our families need and deserve.

Our office will be closed today, but the Warm Line never closes and is here to serve you. Please call or text 1-888-404-7763 if you are in need of emotional support.

No Sleep Training until after 6 months.....and then only if you need it! But work with a Sleep Consultant (eg, Macall with Little Livewires: Support for alert kiddos who never ever sleep)

And when fathers know about how to co-regulate with their baby, it helps to set up the baby's internal schedules and development of neuroception.

I'm working on a handful of articles for this issue currently.....wish me luck!

The importance of early relationships is central to the field of infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH), yet the role of fathers has too often been overlooked or relegated to the margins. This special issue seeks to reframe and elevate fatherhood by centering father’s voices, experiences...
