Contact your GP surgery to make an appointment or see when their vaccination clinic is.

Vaccines protect your child from measles, whooping cough and other serious illnesses. 🧒

If you're a dad, check if your child has missed vaccinations: look in their red book or speak to your GP practice.

“There’s no guarantee that just because a product is being sold, that it is suitable to use for baby sleep.”

Amy is a 24 year-old mum from Land’s End. She spoke to us about the confusing and relentless advertising of baby sleep products on social media.

“On Instagram and TikTok, I kept seeing people using pods – I thought ‘everyone has a pod’, because they were all I was seeing. I was in an echo chamber. So I placed an order for a pod.”

“When I then spoke to my partner about it, he reminded me that pods don’t follow safer sleep advice. I felt so stupid in that moment. As a teacher, I’ve even taught PSHE lessons about not buying into all the ads you see online! I cancelled my order in the end before it was delivered.”

And her tips for other new parents?

“I find it helpful to take a screenshot of a product I’m interested in, and come back to it another time. It gives me time to think things through and work out if they are a safer option or not.”

“There’s a lot of contrasting advice and it can be really overwhelming. To counter this, I look at The Lullaby Trust. They get my questions answered, but also provide me with other bits of guidance I hadn’t even thought of.”

International Women’s Day isn’t just about celebrating strong women.

It’s about recognizing the women who had to become strong.

The mothers raising children while healing parts of themselves.
The women breaking cycles no one else in their family broke.
The ones learning boundaries, self-respect, and peace later than they should have had to.

There are women out there doing the quiet work of healing.

And that kind of strength changes generations.

Happy International Women’s Day to the women doing the work no one sees.
