Leanne was grateful for our advice after her son, Ralph, was born
Our health visitor told us about The Lullaby Trust. We've found their guidance really helpful. We place Ralph with his feet towards the foot of the cot, and we make sure his room isn't too warm or cold.

Bridget and Zbig support The Lullaby Trust in memory of their son, Paul
There was no advice on how to cope. People didn’t know how to talk to me, either. People I knew and would speak to daily began crossing over the street rather than talking to me. I don’t think they knew what to say. Through The Lullaby Trust, I connected with other parents who'd experienced what I did. For the next 30 years, I campaigned, fundraised, counselled and raised awareness.

After bringing Sam home from hospital, Matt and Laura were worried about him
Sam wouldn't wake up or take milk. I was looking through Instagram and I saw The Lullaby Trust's video for Infection Prevention Week. We checked Sam's temperature and when we discovered it was low, we called the midwife. Sam spent a week in intensive care recovering from an infection. He's just over one-year-old now - crawling and causing mayhem!
