It can be really tricky to know what to buy the baby in your life for their first Christmas. But it’s really important to avoid dangerous sleep products.
Sleep bags like these may look very cosy and inviting but many sold online have been recalled as they present a serious risk of suffocation, overheating and death.
Sleep bags should be well fitted, (think neck and arm holes that fit well) so that your baby can’t wriggle down inside. And avoid any sleep bags with hoods or head coverings.

Today is National White Ribbon Day.
Sexist jokes, catcalling, staring, and comments might seem harmless — but they’re not. They can lead to violence and abuse.
This White Ribbon Day, we’re calling on men to speak up and help create a world where everyone is safe, equal, and respected.
Every time we ignore something that feels wrong, we miss a chance to set a better example.

As cold and flu season is upon us, we thought it might be helpful to share the reminder that you can continue to breastfeed if you are feeling unwell. 🤧 Continuing to breastfeed will protect your breast milk supply and provide your baby with antibodies which will help them to fight off illnesses. 🤱
