It’s #SaferSleepWeek, the annual awareness campaign around reducing sudden infant death syndrome (also known as SIDS). We’re proud to support @LullabyTrust as they explore baby sleep patterns, bust baby sleep myths, and support parents and carers through their own lack of sleep.

From 10th-16th March, we’re supporting @LullabyTrust with their annual #SaferSleepWeek. This is their national awareness campaign for anyone looking after a young baby. They raise awareness of sudden infant death syndrome and advice that reduces the risk of it occurring.

Christmas can be stressful. If you're looking after a young baby remember to pause at the door and check the three C's -
Calm - Are you calm? Careful - Can you be careful? Caring - Will you be caring?
Have a great Christmas and New Year #ICONChristmas2024 #ICONCope

[Derriford Hospital Safeguarding Team @UHPSafeguarding]

Babies cry, even at Christmas, but you can cope.
If you need help, then ask. You never know who may have that piece of helpful advice or some spare time to give you a break.
Remember the three C's - https://iconcope.or #ICONChristmas2024 #ICONCope

Christmas can be a very enjoyable time. But it can also feel very long and very tiring. If you're looking after a young baby just remember to check the 3 C's before you pick them up - https://t.co/bkZgLYPr1g
