Here to help parents and families from neonatal units support each other.
Check out Facebook:
NeoMates for parents across the UK, and
lots of local groups.
Having a baby in hospital can bring a lot of extra expense, especially when parents have a lot of travelling to do. Take a look at our Financial support, information and practical help hub to see what support might be available to you. https://t.co/X38esuTExh
Who cares about toilets? 🚽
3.6 billion people do. Because they have nowhere safe to go.
We're currently living in a world where more people have access to mobile phones than clean and safe toilets. Let's change that by supporting #Goal6💧

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. Having a baby in neonatal care can be a very overwhelming and challenging experience. Bliss is here to support you throughout your journey, along with other amazing organisations.
Parents often tell us that they weren't sure how to interact with their babies at first in the neonatal unit. Tell us about the moments that you shared with your baby on the unit - be it reading stories, singing songs or providing care.
Kangaroo Care: Not just for moms! Dads & family members can too, with guidance. It's a precious way to bond & support your baby's growth. Talk to the NICU team to learn more.

In the NICU, parents are essential and play a crucial role on their babies well-being. Your presence and touch, through kangaroo care and hand hugging, are magical for your baby.
It can be overwhelming to find the information that is relevant to you when you are anticipating or going through a neonatal experience. This is why we developed our Information and Support hub - to help guide you to the information that you need, when you need it.
