A gentle reminder from No More Squirmy Baby during Mental Health Awareness Month 💛

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we want to say something to every new mom out there — especially the ones who feel like they’re drowning under pressure, expectations, and sleep deprivation.

💛 You’re doing better than you think.💛 You are enough.💛 You are not alone.

The Truth About New Parenthood & Mental Health

Becoming a parent is one of the most transformative experiences you’ll ever go through — physically, emotionally, and mentally. And yet, so many new moms feel like they’re supposed to “bounce back,” smile through exhaustion, and never ask for help.

Let’s rewrite that narrative.

Here are a few truths we all need to hear:

💡 Up to 80% of new moms experience baby blues within the first two weeks after birth
💡 1 in 7 women will experience postpartum depression
💡 1 in 10 dads experience postpartum mood disorders, too
💡 Hormonal shifts, lack of sleep, and unrealistic expectations all take a serious toll
💡 Many new parents report feeling isolated and disconnected from their identity

These feelings are common — but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored.

If You’re Reading This...

…and you’re crying in the nursery, scrolling Instagram at 2am, or wondering if you’re doing it all wrong — pause and breathe. Because:

🍼 You’re learning a whole new human.🍼 You’re healing — physically and emotionally.🍼 You’re loving, giving, and showing up every day.

That’s not failing. That’s superhuman.
