Want to get the latest insights into safer sleep for infants? Join us next month as @AnnaSPease leads a session on this crucial topic, and shares what the latest research is telling us: ncmd.info/events/safer-i…

UK weather is unpredictable, but it is important to make sure that your baby is a comfortable temperature not too hot or too cold. The risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is higher in babies who get too hot. The recommended room temperature for babies is 16-20°C. (1/4🧵)

Great app to signpost our families to, especially when they leave our ED’s and wards. #InfectionPreventionWeek @KathEvans2 @FIONAPARKER5 @NUHmaternity @RLHMaternity @RLHPED @wxmaternityreb1 @RainbowCyp @Christinefog71 @sherrymanning85 @brace_emma

Great resources for professionals and families #InfectionPreventionWeek

@criminographer I’m so sorry for your loss - keeping you and your family in my thoughts xxx

And, like her gorgeous biggest brother, with an "ice lolly" (ice cream) whenever you fancy. 💔

We are devastated to say that our beautiful Isabelle died in the early hours of this morning. We are absolutely broken. However, we want you all not to think of her death, but to honour her by living life as she did: fearlessly, joyously & spontaneously.

Our animation ‘Puddle Jumping’ aims to help adults understand how grieving children can seem to move in and out of their grief, a bit like they’re jumping in and out of a puddle. 💦 Puddle jumping is normal and means a child is learning to cope with their grief.

Drowning happens quickly and silently, with many people often not realising it’s happening until it’s too late. Once you understand how and where drowning happens, there are things you can do to prevent it. Learn more: capt.org.uk/drowning/ #WorldDrowningPreventionDay #WDPD

📣 RSV vaccination programme announced! 📣#CampaignWin This is a crucial step to protect children’s health & reduce pressure on the NHS during winter. Thank you to the 2,000+ paediatricians & healthcare professionals who signed our open letter & helped make this happen.

❓Quiz time!❓ Babies just need two items in their cot: (1) a firm, flat, waterproof mattress; (2) lightweight bedding. Have a look at the picture and see if you can spot all the extra items which shouldn’t be there! Then swipe for the answers. Did you get them all?
