The mental health impact of the VPA’s decision

The VPA’s decision doesn’t just force the closure of a small family-run business and cost numerous job losses, it also puts at risk the mental health and quite literally the lives of mums across Australia. 

There has been an outpouring of heart-wrenching, emotional, personal stories bravely shared by Willby’s customers here and on Willby’s socials.

I urge the VPA to read these so they can understand how life-changing and life-saving Willby’s colic mix is.

“I was on a fast track to developing PND without Willby’s. Saved us 2.5 years ago with my daughter who had colic.”

“You were our life line. I wouldn’t and our family wouldn’t have been able to get through without Willby’s. Thank you for literally saving us, when I was at my lowest or lowest times.”

“Very sad news. Willby’s literally saved me during the hardest time with my newborn who is now 5.”

“Life saving for our household. Absolutely life saving. This makes no sense.”

“The lack of sleep did numbers on my mental health, and if it weren’t for Willby’s - well I don’t actually want to think about it - I’m not sure how I would have gotten through without you.”

“Willby’s absolutely saved us and brought so much relief to my baby. It was a huge help to my mental health too because he was at ease and I wasn’t riddled with guilt.”

“Willby’s saved my sanity and gave my little boy such relief.”

“Your product truly saved our sanity (and so many more) during the hell that is colic. You gave us back a small glimmer of joy in those really dark days.”

“I owe my life to Willby’s, my breaking point was after 14 hours of el screamo, husband waltzed through the front door, I handed babe to him then marched myself down to the river ready to hurl myself off the bank The next day my friend got me onto Willby’s and my new lease on life started. Now im pregnant with my second I am absolutely terrified.”

“You all, literally, saved me from such horrible sleep deprivation and post-natal depression once I was able to use your mixture to help my daughter. The only way for me to see that there was light at the end of the tunnel, that we would eventually get through such a difficult phase, was talking to you guys and finally finding a solution that worked. Honestly, it was more than just giving our baby relief, it saved me!!!”
