Support for Families in Dorset

Sometimes becoming a parent, or being pregnant, doesn’t go the way we thought it would. For some reason it doesn’t feel right, and it’s hard to work out why the expected feelings – the ones we’re told we should be experiencing – just aren’t there. We begin to question our ability to be a good-enough parent and wonder if things will ever change.

Having a baby is one of the most significant life events we can experience. It’s often a source of great happiness, but, for a variety of reasons, can also sometimes be unexpectedly difficult. You may be asking:
- why is being a new parent more difficult than I thought?
- have I got post-natal depression (PND)?
- why haven’t I bonded with my baby?
- what are the baby blues?
- why do I feel so sad and stressed?
- when does becoming a parent get easier?
Or you may be asking yourself questions about your baby:
- why does my baby cry all the time?
- why won’t my baby sleep?
- Is my baby happy?
- does my baby like me?
- is my baby really ok, and is this really what being a parent is all about?
If any of these strike a chord, or you have questions of your own, we’re here to help you find the answers.
DorPIP can offer you the right kind of support, because we know how it feels – we are parents ourselves.
Our services are always confidential and discrete – and we’re always on your side. We want take care of you, so you can take care of your baby in the best possible way you can.
