THIS IS HAPPENING IN DENMARK 👏👏👏

Now let’s make it happen in the UK.

The evidence is clear: proper parental leave and child support is good for mums, dads, AND the kids. It’s also good for the economy.

That’s why we’ve joined over 30 charities, academics and experts to call on the Government to commit to 4 simple things:

👉 Strengthen paternity leave and pay for fathers and non-birthing parents.
👉 Strengthen maternity and adoption leave and pay
👉 End the disadvantage faced by self-employed parents
👉 Make parental leave a day-one right

The pressure is building on the government to act now. Will you help us win this campaign for ALL families in the UK?

Please share this post, and if you haven’t already, email your MP today. Comment CHANGE and we’ll send you the link. Do it now. There has NEVER been a more important time to use your voice! ✊

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial published in Phytomedicine studied 60 breastfeeding mothers with mild-to-moderate postpartum depression. The mothers were given either 15 mg of saffron twice daily (30 mg per day) or a placebo for 8 weeks, and depression severity was measured using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II).

By the end of the study, mothers taking saffron showed much greater improvement than the placebo group. Their depression scores dropped sharply, and 96% of the saffron group reached clinical remission, compared to 43% in the placebo group. Two-thirds of the saffron group showed a full treatment response, showing that saffron significantly reduced postpartum depression symptoms without standard antidepressants.
