Retired NHS Diabetes Specialist Midwife ~ now exploring rekindled passions for birds, butterflies and the great outdoors

[The Lullaby Trust @LullabyTrust]

Welcome to #SaferSleepWeek 2024! 🎉 We’re going to look at some common misunderstandings around the use of baby products, and how to create the safest sleep space for your little one. We’ll also explain how to keep your baby’s airway open and clear while they sleep.

#ThursdayTopTip

If you have #diabetes & are trying to get pregnant, you should take 5 mg of folic acid each day (and until you are 12 weeks pregnant).

Note for HCPs:
This HAS to be prescribed- so please do so during planning for pregnancy phase

There are many unanswered questions about the time before, during & after #pregnancy with #diabetes of any type.

Researchers need to hear which questions are most important to you.
