Baby Loss Awareness Week
Each year The Lullaby Trust joins other leading baby charities to raise awareness of baby loss and campaign to secure the support of MPs for the provision of better bereavement care.
Baby Loss Awareness Week takes place 9-15th October. During this week families all over the world commemorate the lives of their babies and share memories of the all too brief time they had together.
The week ends with the global Wave of Light on 15th October, where candles are lit across the globe as part of international Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.
You can help to ensure that bereaved families receive the support they need for as long as they need it. Just £9 could pay for a support package to be sent to a bereaved family, giving advice, sharing experiences from other bereaved parents and signposting to where they can get further support.

5. Ask your MP to act
This Baby Loss Awareness Week, you can show that care creates change by asking your MP to speak up on baby loss. Your MP works for you and their job is to amplify your voice and care about the issues that matter to you.
By getting MPs involved, we can show that together we care, and that care creates change.
MPs who understand why pregnancy and baby loss matter can help us hold the government to account on issues such as maternity safety, inequality and mental health.
Take two minutes to ask your new MP to speak up about baby loss.
