If you need ideas on developing a good perinatal mental health service have a look at Northamptonshire PCT website at
http://www.changingmindscentre.co.uk/v/parental_mentalhealth_team
They have some great schemes including Buggy Buggies and Baby Massage.
There is also a useful booklet to download on Emotional Changes During Pregnancy and Following Childbirth.

If you have been to any of these activities perhaps you would like to comment?

I've been working with a similar team at Surrey Primary Care Trust for several years. It's encouraging that so many in the NHS are becoming aware of the importance of infant mental health.
Good to see that Northampton PCT is using baby massage to help parent-infant mental health. I've been doing similar work with Surrey PCT for more than two years, through www.massageforbabies.com
