In 2022, National Public Health Week runs from April 4 to April 10. Each day focuses on a critical aspect of public health. The last day, Sunday, April 10, is dedicated to mental health. So, this seems like a great time to talk more about mental health and what things parents and parents-to-be can do to improve theirs.

As a new-to-be parent, you’ve probably been given advice about just about everything imaginable leading up to your child’s birth – what to bring to the hospital, how to change a diaper, how to choose between breastfeeding and formula feeding, what to expect during the first days of your child's life. Well here’s some advice nobody gives new-to-be parents.

 Enjoy these last days without a diaper bag.
