Sadly, even though many shops sell them, pillows can increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). That’s why we recommend babies sleep on a firm, flat surface until they are at least 12mths old. So, say no to a pillow!
It's #HIVTestingWeek 2023! Getting tested is the only way to know your status.
We have the tools to stop HIV. Testing, treatment, condoms and PrEP. Each of us can play our part 🔻
❗ An urgent safety alert for baby self-feeding pillows has been issued. The Office for Product Safety and Standards is urging the public to stop using self-feeding pillows immediately.
