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. buff.pulse.ly/m0xpgf9bvs

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💧

Please have your say, #NeoMates parents #ParentSupport #ParentEngagement

Let’s take a moment to reflect on Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. Clean water isn't just a necessity; it's a catalyst for change. Invest in sanitation, invest in a better future. 🚰🌱 #GlobalGoals #Goal6 globalgoals.org/goals/6-clean-…

How can I be a more conscious consumer? 💭 Start with these questions:

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.

Get your jab!

Take action by volunteering in your community Take action by donating to a cause you believe in Take action by educating yourself on social issues Take action by mentoring someone Take action by advocating for justice Take action by creating a positive impact in someone's day

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.
