These soft pillows and cushions are often marketed for baby sleep or as somewhere for a baby to be left unsupervised. But this can cause suffocation or overheating, and your baby might even die.

It's World Prematurity Day 💙
Earlier this year, this lovely mum shared her story about breastfeeding her daughter, who was born premature.
"Tilly was born at 34+6 weeks via emergency C-Section as she decided to come in with a bang on Bonfire Night.
Tilly was tube fed breastmilk in NICU/SCBU until she was big and strong enough to latch herself. It’s been a long journey but she has been EBF from the beginning and is thriving. Many people are surprised to see such a small baby breastfeeding, but I’ve been determined to give her the very best from the start.
She’s grown from 3lbs 13 to over 7lbs 9 in 12 weeks. Breastfeeding a premature baby isn’t easy, it’s been challenging but Matilda has never lost weight and continued to thrive. We’re so grateful to the breastfeeding support workers at Wishaw General and our at-home support worker who have given such encouragement."
Thank you for sharing💜

If you're sharing information, please remember to check your sources. The guidance on mastitis was updated in 2022.
