It is fantastic that the first Westminster Hall debate is about the impact of COVID on babies and their families. Definitely an issue that needs more attention in Westminster. Thank you @CatMcKinnell for championing this. We look forward to watching at 430pm.

Do you have a little one with an upset tummy? It’s probably a bug & should clear up in a few days. In the meantime, keep them at home and make sure they have plenty of rest & keep sipping water. For more information and advice nhs.uk/conditions/diarrhoea-… #SelfCareAdviceforChildren
