On Swallowing Awareness Day, our amazing speech and language therapy team have been raising awareness about eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). We're so proud of their work assessing and supporting children: evelinalondon.nhs.uk/our-ser…

It's #WorldBookDay - but why is reading and sharing stories so valuable for children, anyway?
This is why 👇
booktrust.org.uk/what-we-do/…
ALT Photos of a girl in a classroom looking at a book; a baby squealing with delight while looking at a picture book; and a woman and toddler smiling while sharing a book. Plus the words: "Reading supports children to... Meet speech and language milestones and do better at school; Overcome disadvantage; Develop imagination, empathy and creativity; Develop better mental wellbeing, social skills and strong relationships'
We at @EoENeonatalODN completely agree. Following the amazing day our units put on today our working group/ SIG will be starting soon so we can keep the momentum going and really embed reading as an everyday activity on our neonatal units
We love #WorldBookDay - but it's so important that every child has the opportunity to discover the life-changing benefits of reading all year round.
That's why our brilliant Waterstones @UKLaureate @frankcottrell_b created the #ReadingRights campaign 👇

Some families find reading hard for many reasons. Language, literacy, disability. We can still help them to embed reading into their daily lives. What are some other ways to make reading to their baby less daunting for these families?

Your baby may not understand the words yet but they love your company and sound of your voice.
They may show you they are paying attention by calming, widening their eyes, smiling and sometimes showing excitement.

Lovely morning at Peterborough City Hospital neonatal unit for #worldbookday2025. Despite being incredibly busy the unit still put on a fabulous day. They will be on ITV Anglia tomorrow night. Big cheers for Lucy for doing such a great job being interviewed 🙌🙌@EoENeonatalODN

Sometimes parents tell us that they feel anxious or embarrassed reading or talking to their baby out loud. Some tell us they don’t know what to say. How can nurses, medics & AHPPs help with this?

@booktrust has a book finder tool to help you out if you aren’t sure what books to consider for your baby (or older child). Have a look at it here
