Having a baby in hospital can bring a lot of extra expense, especially when parents have a lot of travelling to do. Take a look at our Financial support, information and practical help hub to see what support might be available to you. buff.pulse.ly/m0xpgf9bvs

Happy #WorldBeeDay
Bees are environmental superstars! They:
🐝 Pollinate over 75% of flowering plants & crops

Who cares about toilets? 🚽
3.6 billion people do. Because they have nowhere safe to go.
We're currently living in a world where more people have access to mobile phones than clean and safe toilets. Let's change that by supporting #Goal6💧

Let’s take a moment to reflect on Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. Clean water isn't just a necessity; it's a catalyst for change. Invest in sanitation, invest in a better future. 🚰🌱 #GlobalGoals #Goal6

Parents often tell us that they weren't sure how to interact with their babies at first in the neonatal unit. Tell us about the moments that you shared with your baby on the unit - be it reading stories, singing songs or providing care.

In the NICU, parents are essential and play a crucial role on their babies well-being. Your presence and touch, through kangaroo care and hand hugging, are magical for your baby.
