Researchers from The University of Queensland need your help to develop a new online, compassion-based mental health program designed specifically for parents of babies born preterm. If you are over 18, based in Australia, and the parent of a baby born preterm in the last 12 months, please consider participating in this study.

Further information about the study and sign-up details can be found here: https://exp.psy.uq.edu.au/caregivers/

Infertility is not just a medical experience. It can affect your emotions, relationships, identity, and sense of self.

New WHO guidelines now formally recognise what many people have long known: emotional and psychological support should be part of fertility care at every stage, not an optional extra.

You deserve care that supports your whole wellbeing, not just your body.

If your baby feels hard to settle, you are not doing anything wrong.

Emerging research suggests that how much a baby cries is often linked to temperament and biology, rather than parenting skill. Some babies are simply wired to cry more in the early months, even when their needs are being met with care and love.

Understanding this can help ease guilt and create space for more compassion towards yourself.

If this season brings up pressure, comparison, or unexpected emotions, you’re not alone.
We’re here to support you through every chapter of your family-building journey. 💚
