@biologyinmed I have removed the image which was of a father providing skin-to-skin with his baby during maternal separation. This page requires clinical update and this will be done now in due course. Please refer to NHS SPS in the meantime.

GPs! 👋
Can you help with research about the 6-8week check?
We’re recruiting GPs REGARDLESS of expertise/experience in postnatal care.
If you are not a parent yourself, or are doing these appointments remotely we especially want to hear from you

[Bf Twins Triplets UK @BfTwinsUK]

Its a common occurrence for one breastfed twin or triplet to need to go into hospital. Hospitals often have a blanket policy that siblings cannot attend but what about when the other baby/ies left at home are the same age? This needs to be considered
