Today is Pregnancy & Infant loss day.

We stand beside all those families who babes were born already sleeping. And we hold all those families who had to say goodbye just as they were saying hello.

Those babies are loved.
Those babies are remembered.
Those babies are part of our families.

We will be lighting a candle at 7pm, along with families around the world. Join us in this wave of light.

Who looks after whom??

Postpartum is a gloriously complex time when a mother’s body is rearranging itself and hormones are sinking to pre pregnancy state.

Get yourselves supported!

If mama’s sole job is looking after this new baby then papa needs to feed her, clean her nesting space (in bed or sofa please), reassure her - she’s doing a great job! - and guard her from too many or unwanted (but well meaning) visitors.

Visitors - you need to do outside jobs - bring groceries, deliver home cooked meals to the new family’s door - you are hugely appreciated but this time is not about you. Wait to be asked to visit and always ask before you hold the baby - and be ready to hear no - mother baby bonding is so important at this time.

>> It really does take a village to raise a child, but that village starts by raising a Mama.
