When a Baby or Young Child Dies Suddenly and Unexpectedly

This comprehensive leaflet, created by The Lullaby Trust, provides essential support for parents and carers following the sudden and unexpected death of a baby or young child. It covers a wide range of topics, including legal processes, grief, and practical support available for families. The leaflet addresses both the emotional and practical aspects of this difficult journey, offering guidance on topics such as funeral arrangements, the investigation process, ways to support siblings, and life after loss. Additionally, it provides information on support services like counselling and befriending, and details about the Care of Next Infant (CONI) programme for families expecting another baby.
