When Lucy's son was born at 31 weeks, she found creative writing a helpful medium to work through her feelings. Lucy has kindly shared her beautiful poem 'Motifs' with us. 💙

When your baby is in neonatal care, it's natural for your attention to be focused on them. This , we're reminding parents that your wellbeing is important too. Looking after yourself can help you get through challenging times, and navigate your feelings afterwards.

If you've had a neonatal experience, what did you do to help process your feelings? Whether it was something creative, like writing poetry or listening to music, or simply talking to a loved one, let us know in the comments below. 👇💙

This Baby Loss Awareness Week, we want to acknowledge families who don't get to come home with their baby from neonatal care. 💙

If you're remembering your baby today, please know that you are not alone. Your baby is loved, remembered, and will always matter.

Whether you share a name, a memory, a photo, or simply a 💙 in the comments, we'd be honoured to remember your little one with you.

We also invite our community to show their support for bereaved families and help ensure no parent feels alone in their grief.

If you lost your baby who was born premature or sick, our support team is here for you. Please DM us contact us at [email protected] for information & support.

Our friends at Tommy's and Sands - baby loss charity are here to support you too.

Thank you to the Deputy Minister for Social Care, Mental Health and Women's Health, Delyth Jewell MS, for speaking up for babies born premature or sick in her address to the Senedd last week.

The Minister highlighted how Bliss' programme of work to drive up standards in neonatal care and provide support for parents is vital for the 2,800 premature and sick babies born in Wales every year.

Bliss' national neonatal service improvement programme will be funded until March 2027. As part of this work in Wales:
💙 All units are progressing through Bliss Baby Charter accreditation
Bliss information and support resources, such as posters and booklets, have been translated into Welsh.
💙 Bespoke training webinars for healthcare professionals have been delivered.
💙 A Bliss North Wales WhatsApp peer support group for parents and cares has been launched.
💙 And much more!

We'd like to better understand how families find, trust, and use our information. If you’re a parent or carer with neonatal experience, we’d love your help with a short online survey (around 10 minutes). Your feedback will help us improve our resources so that we can better support families with babies born premature or sick.

💙 The survey is open until 25th October 2026.
💙 As a thank you, there’s an optional prize draw for a £50 voucher.
💙 We’d love to hear from all kinds of families. Mums, dads, partners, and anyone who supported a baby in neonatal care
💙 We're keen to hear your views whatever your thoughts on AI.

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. 👇
