It's #IMHAW2024
At least 1 in 10 babies in the UK is living in fear & distress. Too often babies are overlooked. We want to make sure babies’ voices are heard! With an election looming, we are calling on politicians from all parties to #SpeakUpForBabies 👉https://t.co/hUfjCGwUGs

Today we’ve published new research showing that most parents in England must leave their babies overnight as neonatal units don’t routinely provide beds where parents can sleep or rest. Read our latest findings here: https://t.co/YdIXYjLC4B #FamilesKeptApart
With you in mind group is a fantastic way to get support during the perinatal period, is there one in your area?
It is run by Homestart peer support workers and I have always found it to be a lovely welcoming space.
Today the Sands & @Tommys Joint Policy Unit published its priorities for the next government.
These are the changes needed to make maternity & neonatal services safer, that will save babies' lives & eliminate inequalities in care.

#BabyLoss
Strongly encourage anyone with personal or work links to #neonates to submit evidence on the key issues affecting the #NICU families you represent. The more #voices we hear, the more chance we have of getting things right. #HIE & adults born #preterm missing so far! #Prematurity
Awareness of this is SO important. When I began my work with #neonatal#families, I was also guilty of thinking every baby on the #NICU must be #preemie but that's not the case at all. In fact, parents admitted with a #fullterm baby are often less prepared, and more #trauma. #HIE
This week is #FeedingTubeAwarenessWeek (4- 10 Feb)
Establishing feeding for a baby born premature can be one of the great challenges for parents in neonatal care and beyond.
Please share your pictures and stories this week, helping to raise awareness & celebrate tube fed babies!
