💐 Happy Mother’s Day from ICON. To every mum and caregiver supporting babies through the sleepless nights, the cuddles and the crying - you're amazing. Remember: babies cry, and you can cope. It’s okay to take a moment if things feel overwhelming. 💜 #MothersDay #ICONcope

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 #ICONChristmas2025 #ICONCope

Thank you to all our incredible NHS staff working over the Christmas period 💙 From nurses, doctors and midwives to paramedics, pharmacists and porters, thank you for continuing to care for our loved ones each and every day.

Wishing you a safe, gentle and joyful Christmas ✨

You can cope — and support is always there if you need it. This Christmas, be kind to yourself and to each other. Share the ICON message, check in on friends and family, and remember: keeping babies safe starts with looking after the grown-ups too.

That’s why the ICON message matters just as much at Christmas as it does all year round. If a baby is crying, it’s ok to pause, put them down somewhere safe, and take a moment to breathe. Babies cry. Parents and carers get overwhelmed.

Merry Christmas from everyone at ICON 🎄 The festive season can be full of magic, sparkle… and pressure. When everything feels like it has to be perfect, a crying baby can tip even the calmest of days off balance.

🎄Christmas can be a joyful time - but it can also feel exhausting, especially with a young baby. Before you pick them up, pause and check the 3 Cs: Calm – are you calm? Careful – can you be careful? Caring – will you be caring? 👉 iconcope.org/3Cs #ICONChristmas2025

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay 💚 Remember: all babies cry and sometimes it can feel too much. If you’re struggling, it’s OK to put your baby down safely, walk away, and take a breather. You’re not alone - asking for help is strength. iconcope.org #BabiesCryYouCanCope
