Starting school is a big milestone for children, and their parents, and it can be an emotional time.

We would like to wish everyone the very best of luck on their first day at school and a big thank you to our wonderful families for alllowing us to be part of your journey 🥰

We are really keen to understand parent’s views and what their needs are for parenting support programme in D&G.

If you could spare a minute or two to complete the parent survey, that would be very much appreciated 🙂

If you would like more information about plagiocephaly or tummy time please speak to your Health Visitor 🙂

Some parents worry about sleeping babies on their backs in case it causes plagiocephaly (or ‘flat head syndrome’). However, research shows that the risk of SIDS reduces significantly when babies sleep on their back for every sleep, day and night.
-
Plagiocephaly usually corrects itself within a year but we do recommend giving your little one plenty of supervised tummy time while they’re awake. This will help to minimise the amount of time they spend on their back. And of course, you can always speak to your health professional if you are concerned.
