You can't predict what life will be like with a new baby. Giving birth is an emotional and exhausting experience. Take the time to adjust to your new family unit, to nurture yourself as you find your feet as a mother and know that no matter how chaotic things may feel around you, you are enough.😊

This week is ICON Week.👶

All babies cry and crying often increases at around 2 weeks of age and peaks around 6-8 weeks.

It can feel really hard at times when your baby cries but its important to remember that you can cope and you are not alone ❤️

For more information on crying and techniques to help you cope with this, head to the ICON website https://iconcope.org/

We will be sharing some more information from ICON throughout the week!

Baby sleeping bags with hoods, or those without arm openings, do not meet UK safety standards and are not permitted to be sold here. They can cause babies to suffocate, overheat or die.

Yet far too many are available to buy online.

In fact, a new investigation by Which? found many dangerous baby sleeping bags, similar or identical to products that have been officially recalled for suffocation risks, for sale online.

So, please shop safely.

Sleep bags should be well-fitted, (think neck and arm holes that fit well) so that your baby can’t wriggle down inside.

Plus, any sleep bags with hoods or head coverings should be avoided.

To learn more about shopping safely for your baby, and other dangerous baby products visit: https://capt.org.uk/10-baby-products-that-could-pose-serious-safety-risk/
