Safety notes
- ⚠️ Not a substitute for medical care for persistent mental health challenges. • Keep small slips of paper out of reach of infants and toddlers to prevent choking hazards. • Always ensure adequate supervision for children while engaging in activities. • If feelings of sadness, anxiety, or hopelessness are persistent, please contact your healthcare provider or the Postpartum Support International Helpline at 1-800-944-4773. • If you are experiencing a crisis, please dial or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). When to seek professional support: While "baby blues" (mood swings, anxiety, sadness) are common and usually resolve within two weeks postpartum, persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or hopelessness, or thoughts of self-harm, may indicate postpartum depression or anxiety (PPD/PPA). If you experience these, please reach out to your healthcare provider or call the Postpartum Support International Helpline at 1-800-944-4773. For immediate crisis support, dial or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
