A Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) is a specialised healthcare facility that provides care and support for mothers experiencing severe mental health issues during the perinatal period, typically from pregnancy up to one year postpartum. A Mother and Baby Unit aims to ensure the well-being of both the mother and her infant while addressing and managing maternal mental health challenges. These units offer a multidisciplinary approach to care, involving psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, midwives, and other healthcare professionals.
