“It was tough, but I constantly reminded myself that it wasn’t my fault, and it wasn’t Faith’s fault.” - Helen, Faith’s mum

Sleep deprivation is very real and extreme tiredness can be very hard to live with. You might find yourself becoming angry or upset. Try to remind yourself that it’s no one’s fault, and that this feeling is only temporary. You’re not in this alone.

You might find there’s a lot less time to yourself once you become a parent.

It’s likely all your time is taken up with caring for your little one. And any time you do get, you probably want to get chores done, or even just sleep! But it’s so important to carve out even just an hour or two of time for you. Spend some time doing something YOU love. Whether it’s going to the gym, reading a book or going to grab a coffee and a croissant.

We know it’s easier said than done, and that the world keeps spinning when you have a baby. The chores don’t stop. If anything, the cleaning and laundry grows! We get that. And you’re doing all this on barely any sleep.

But if you can, reach out for support. Ask a friend or family member to take the reins just for a few hours. Taking just a short rest if you can, can make such a difference.

Though the recommended room temperature for babies is 16 – 20°C, keeping your baby's room temperature in this range can be harder in summer or in a heatwave!

We want to remind you that in really hot weather, it's fine to dress your baby in just a nappy, or a short sleeve vest. Research shows that babies are safer being cooler than being too hot, as overheating increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

It might also help to:
- Open the bedroom door and a window, if it’s safe to do so, to allow the air to flow.
- Use a fan to cool the room, but don’t aim it directly towards the baby.
- Keep curtains closed in the daytime so the room doesn’t heat up as much.
- Use a thermometer to check the room is the right temperature – as it’s hard to guess.

But even after doing all of the above in this heat, it can be frustrating when the room is still hot and it's out of your control. So for peace of mind, continue following all of our safer sleep guidance 👉 https://bit.ly/4hXVWfq

Car seats are essential for your baby’s safety while driving, but babies shouldn’t sleep in them for long periods. This is because research has found that young babies may be at risk of breathing difficulties if they sleep upright in a seated position for too long, and this can increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

We’re working with our new partner Joie Baby UK today to share our top tips to help keep you baby safe while travelling in a car seat.

We partner with JOIE on their i-level Pro car seat, to raise awareness of our car seat safety advice. Carefully selected partnerships like this one ensure the sustainability of The Lullaby Trust’s work and allow our impartial, evidence-based advice to remain accessible to everyone who needs it.

Content note: baby loss

Marjorie’s story 💫

“Our son, Craig, died from cot death when he was seven and a half weeks old on 29 September 1984. Craig was a beautiful, strong wee boy.

“A health visitor came to see me and mentioned The Lullaby Trust (or the Foundation of Sudden Infant Death, FSID, as it was called then). I got in touch with them straight away, because I had so many unanswered questions. They helped me so much, and were so informative and supportive.”

“It was the first anniversary of Craig’s death when I was in hospital with our youngest, Allison. The Lullaby Trust were great at providing me with support to look after her. Having Allison gave us more purpose to keep going, even when the grief was unbearable.

“What was especially hard was when I was teaching, I got the year group that would’ve been Craig’s class. I couldn’t stop thinking about how he should have been in that class.

“We’ve always talked about Craig, and we have his little toy dog, Doddy, that we keep in the living room, who our grandchildren also love.”
