11/14/2025

Loved meeting some of the staff of Anchor Perinatal Wellness at the Art of Breastfeeding Conference last week- Little Roo evaluates perinatal and postpartum mental health and offers an Edinburgh Postpartum Scale at each visit in the first 6 weeks.

Baby blues and hormone changes can be normal but sometimes further assessment, referral or counseling can be helpful-
Anchor offers walk ins, outpatient and inpatient support!
Little Roo is trained with Postpartum Support International and is here to help you as well on your journey through motherhood!

I ❤️❤️❤️ this therapeutic grade essential oil during th postpartum period! Emotionally grounding-

Have also used with family members to get a better IV site in the hospital- helps pop the vein up to the surface and immediately oxygenates our cells!

New Publication Alert!

We’re excited to announce our latest article: “Balancing Mental Health and Breastfeeding: Evaluating the Transfer of Lurasidone into Human Milk” published in the The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry by Levi S. Campbell, PharmD; Palika Datta, PhD; Kaytlin Krutsch, PhD, PharmD, MBA.

🔍 Why it matters:
• First-ever quantitative data on how the antipsychotic Lurasidone transfers into breast milk.
• Relative infant dose (RID) found to be only ~1.16% at the standard 40 mg/day maternal dose — well below the 10 % safety threshold.
• No adverse effects reported in exposed infants in the study sample.

The ninni can be difficult at first for some babies but with proper suck training and support- they will develop better oral motor skills!

Love solid starts for recommendations to start solids with your little Roo!
Don’t forget to wait until they are sitting upright unassisted, reaching for foods and have lost their tongue thrust-this is usually around 6 months but some need extra time especially if your little Roo has or had a tongue tie and or has a heightened gag reflex
