If you experienced pregnancy or #BabyLoss long-ago, we are here for you 💙🧡
You may have received little support back then, but we are here if you need to talk.

If you or someone you know has been touched by H.I.E. and are in the UK, we have FREE support available. Everything we do is by families, with families and for families.
We’re all different and the support we might need can be different too. Whether it’s peer support, counselling, equipment funds or face to face meet ups. You can find out more on our website, or please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
If you could benefit from a little help on your H.I.E. journey, we’re here for you 🌻

Follow your safer sleep routine, even when you’re on holiday: Sleep your little one on their back on a surface that is clear, firm, flat, and waterproof; air-con can be used as long as it’s not blowing directly on baby; remove layers if baby's chest/back of the neck is hot/clammy

With #FathersDay coming up, we asked dads who'd been through pregnancy complications or loss to share their messages of support & advice for other dads.
Thank you to everyone who responded. Read the messages: bit.ly/3XhJsYs
To all dads & partners, we're #InThisWithYou.

Don’t put any of these in your baby’s cot: teddy, cot bumper, toy, bunting, spare blanket, comforter, pod/nest, room thermometer, pillow, baby bottle, etc. The risk of SIDS and accidents increases when non-essential items are in a baby's sleep space. A clear cot is a safer cot.

It would be brilliant to hear from as many neonatal parents as possible… Bliss offer excellent support to make these focus groups a positive and meaningful experience and this will really help us make the case for change 💜

Did you receive support from psychological professionals, such as clinical psychologists, counsellors or health and wellbeing practitioners, whilst your baby was in care? If yes, and you would like to discuss your experience in a focus group, please fill get in touch

By families, for families, with families..it's what we're all about here at Peeps.
We understand that each H.I.E. journey can be different, & we listen to what parents want & need. You could help! We're looking to recruit more Peer Support Volunteers, and in particular those who have experience of mild/Grade 1 H.I.E. Find out more:
