A clear cot is the safest cot! That means no toys, pillows, duvets or cot bumpers.

Babies don’t need lots of (often expensive) products to sleep safely. They just need the basics; the baby necessities.

There are just a few items that we recommend – the baby necessities:

- Cot or Moses basket
- Portable sleep space such as a travel cot, carry cot or Moses basket
- Firm, flat, waterproof mattress
- Sleeping bag or sheets and a lightweight blanket
- Room thermometer
- Car seat – this is not intended for sleeping when not travelling, but is essential for safer travel.

When it comes to safer sleep, it’s all about keeping it simple to keep it safe. 👉 https://bit.ly/4s9PlUj

(Note: All of our safer sleep guidance primarily relates to reducing the risk of SIDS which looks at babies up to 12 months old).

Happy International Women’s Day!

Today we are celebrating all women worldwide, thank you for your contributions and for bringing so much happiness to our lives.

We are especially grateful to the wonderful women who make our movement possible.

Thank you to all our volunteers, course leaders, expert speakers, those who share the calendar or inspire others, and everyone who takes any action for happiness however big or small.

Thank you for choosing to centre joy, care and wellbeing and thank you for building a happier, kinder world.

Here is a link to a playlist where you can catch up on all the expert women speakers from our live events: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv8qC1Am9ceOXfY7lnTWRNJ3Qe_WfmoTz&si=-1uvT6uJmcdAr47d

This year the UN theme is “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls”, and it calls for action to dismantle all barriers to equal justice: discriminatory laws, weak legal protections, and harmful practices and social norms that erode the rights of women and girls.

The UN found that in nearly 70 per cent of surveyed countries, women face more barriers accessing justice than men. 44% of countries do not have laws that guarantee equal pay. 3 in 4 countries still permit child marriage cutting short childhoods, education and futures.

We celebrate the women’s movement worldwide and we are grateful to our supporters for choosing equality.

This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the theme Give to Gain by highlighting the incredible women across our Trust who support others every day.

Dr Jane, GP Champion at Sexual Health Wirral, shares her thoughts...

"International Women's Day celebrates everyone who identifies as a woman or girl, recognising their strength, diversity and potential.

It’s a reminder of our shared responsibility to push for equity in every part of life and to create opportunities for empowerment, learning and growth - no matter a person’s background. Via my work for Sexual Health Wirral, I feel privileged to be able to help women with their sexual and reproductive health.

Together, we can ensure every woman and girl has the chance to thrive."
