Pram mattresses need to be firm, flat and waterproof, just like cot mattresses. Even if your baby has moved past the carrycot stage and now sits up in a buggy, it’s important that there is still a lie-flat setting. Why? Sleeping in a sitting/sloped position can restrict breathing

As a fellow NHS Middle Manager who CRIED most days for the first 3 months, let me share why you should rethink your view on Managers in #NHS & stop bashing them
Also you can tell me who will do the following instead of them…and no you can’t just “not do” the following…🧵

It’s not right that some babies in temporary accommodation don’t have access to a safer sleep space. Our goal for the #BigGive is to fund 400 Bedtime Bundles with: a travel cot, baby sleep bag, room thermometer & safer sleep advice leaflets. The Big Give starts on #GivingTuesday

Really important advice from @LullabyTrust as we enter a season of family visits and indoor gatherings - see their detailed advice on infection in babies here, and stay safe! lullabytrust.org.uk/safer-sleep-ad…
The Lullaby Trust@LullabyTrust
1 in 3 parents wouldn’t ask people to wash their hands before letting them hold their new baby. But infections that are considered mild (e.g. cold sore virus) can be life-threatening to babies. All visitors should avoid kissing young babies & wash their hands before touching.
