Supporting parents after the loss of a baby or child, with memory boxes, peer support and a candlelit

We support safer pregnancy projects like training, education and equipment. We also support bereaved parents with memory boxes, support and a remembrance service ***If you have lost a baby please consider joining our private group, please message me for details.

Our reminder that our next Later Loss Baby Loss Support Group is Monday 1st June 7pm - 9pm, in town.

Philip's Footprints has always been here to support you, no matter how early the loss or how long ago. Our in-person peer support group is a safe and supportive space to meet, bringing together those who have been affected by the loss of a baby to share experiences, thoughts and feelings - only if you want to - but also a chance to ask those questions you might feel you can't ask anyone or anywhere else.

If you have not joined us before, please message us if you would like to attend so we can give you all the details. Alternatively, if you have been affected by a loss no matter how early, or how long ago, no matter the reason why - we can give you support and guidance one to one ❤

🚨 WARNING 🚨 Temperatures are forecast up to 31C in the coming days 😎

It might seem like a good idea to shade your baby's pram with a blanket or cloth BUT it can make the temperature inside dangerously hot, increasing the chance of heatstroke or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Simple tips to help keep baby cool on hot days:

- Stay indoors during the hottest part of the day
- Remove the back panel on your pram (if it has one) to allow air to flow
- Use a sun shade, parasol or pram umbrella to provide shade without blocking ventilation
- Keep to the shade when out and about

Stay safe, stay cool and enjoy the sunshine!
Please share!

Today is International Bereaved Mothers Day. Today we recognise all bereaved mothers who only hold their children in their hearts, not their arms.

And no matter how early your loss, you are still a mother, no matter how early the loss and no matter how long ago.

As always, we are here for you ❤️
