👶 Thinking about co‑sleeping—or worried you might fall asleep with your baby accidentally?
Whether you’re expecting or already caring for a little one under 12 months, it’s so important to know what’s safe, what’s recommended, and what could put babies at risk.

🛏️ The Lullaby Trust has shared essential co‑sleeping guidance to help keep your baby safe. Even if you don’t plan to co‑sleep, it’s worth knowing—because tiredness happens, and sometimes sleep situations don’t go to plan.

Here are a few key moments when you should never co‑sleep:
- If you or anyone in the bed has had alcohol
- If anyone smokes, or baby was exposed to smoking in pregnancy
- If you’ve taken medication or drugs that make you drowsy
- If your baby was born prematurely or weighed under 5.5lbs

✨ Always check the risks before every sleep—day or night.

🌙 Ramadan & Breastfeeding – Key Things to Know 🤱✨
For Muslim breastfeeding mums choosing to fast, here are simple, supportive tips based on guidance from the Breastfeeding Network:
• Choose nutrient‑dense foods at Suhoor & Iftar – dates, fruit, nuts & whole foods help maintain magnesium, zinc & potassium levels.
• Stay hydrated wisely – swap caffeinated drinks for water, herbal teas, fresh juices or smoothies.
• Winter fasts are easier (shorter fasting hours = more time to eat & drink outside fasting times).
• Your choice matters – fasting while breastfeeding is not expected. It’s your decision.
• Seek support if needed – talking with a health professional can help you decide what’s right for you and your baby - check out the links below.
• Peer supporters: focus on informed choice. It’s okay not to have all the answers—signpost where needed.

With Ramadan beginning this week, today we're sharing some information from our guest blog post - Supporting Breastfeeding During Ramadan.

"As peer supporters, we have great duty in supporting mums to feel empowered to achieve their goals by giving information so their decisions are informed. Supporting mothers during Ramadan is no different to helping mums reduce factors that may have a negative impact on their breast feeding or supply.

Things to consider are:

✨Mums will need to eat high nutrient dense food such as date, fruits and nuts to help replace the magnesium, zinc and potassium levels that may reduce during fasting.

✨Avoid drinking too many caffeinated drinks and replace with water, fresh fruits juice, herbal teas and green smoothies.

✨If a mum is fasting during the winter months which can fall between 10/12hrs of fasting, this is much easier as the sunset is much earlier and they have a longer period to eat and drinking during dawn. So really its like having a very late lunch.

For peer supporters who are not Muslim or who may not know much about Ramadan, it is imperative to keep in mind that choice should always be at the forefront of any breastfeeding journey and the support we provide will very much be based on an individual case by case basis. It’s also okay to say I’m not sure and signpost/refer mums to other sources for more information.

EDIT - Fasting while breastfeeding is not an expectation, but you can choose to if you wish, and it is safe for you to do so. If you are considering fasting while breastfeeding, you may find it helpful to talk a health professional.

Please remember, if you need breastfeeding support, our National Breastfeeding Helpline UK is available 24/7 💜
