When a baby is in neonatal care, many families find themselves juggling more than just the emotional impact.

Extra journeys to and from hospital, meals away from home and parking fees can create additional pressures at an already challenging time.

If you're worried about money, speak to your neonatal team or email [email protected]. There may be practical support, financial assistance or local schemes available to help ease some of the burden. 💙

Let us know in the comments what support made the biggest difference to your family during your baby's neonatal stay. 👇
