Beyond the Baby Blues: How Ketamine Can Support Postpartum Depression with Gena Kosmides from The Mood Center Ep 140
Q: How does ketamine compare to traditional antidepressants for postpartum depression?
Kosmides says traditional antidepressants can take four to six weeks and may require dose increases, while ketamine may provide relief after one treatment. She describes ketamine as acting on glutamate and neuroplasticity, with nausea, a possible blood pressure increase, and dissociation among its notable side effects.
Beyond the Baby Blues: How Ketamine Can Support Postpartum Depression with Gena Kosmides from The Mood Center Ep 140
Q: So the safety of ketamine while breastfeeding is controversial?
Kosmides says ketamine clears quickly and some evidence suggests breastfeeding may be possible after six to 24 hours, but the risk to the child cannot be ruled out. She recommends weighing treatment and feeding options with a provider.
Balance Early: At-Home Strategies to Reduce Developmental Delays with Shannon Davis from InspiraSpark E 135
Q: What should parents do while waiting to see a therapist for delays?
Focus on gentle stretching for conditions like torticollis, desensitize touch, promote safe weight-bearing through varied positions, and engage in simple home activities that encourage movement until professional care begins.
Balance Early: At-Home Strategies to Reduce Developmental Delays with Shannon Davis from InspiraSpark E 135
Q: Can all children benefit from the Balance Box, even if they don't have developmental delays?

Balance Early: At-Home Strategies to Reduce Developmental Delays with Shannon Davis from InspiraSpark E 135
Q: What makes the Little Balance Box different from traditional push toys?
It has no wheels, springs in the feet for controlled movement, and a flat top that allows the child to use their forearms and hands on their own terms, promoting proprioception and core development rather than passive entertainment.
