1 in 6 couples face fertility issues & most employees can't speak about it in fear it will hurt their careers.

There's no UK-wide work policy for fertility treatment & no statutory right to time off work or employer guidance for support.

We need change: lnkd.in/eHtt9mHH

Different infant sleeping arrangements (like bed-sharing vs solitary infant sleep) are associated with different outcomes for mums and babies. To further investigate, we're looking for pregnant women anywhere in the UK to join our study. 💜

Did you know you can continue to breastfeed when you're ill?

Your milk contains antibodies to the infection, which may protect your child.

For information on medication you can take - check out our Cough and Cold Remedies Factsheet, here:

📢 The RCM has welcomed new funding for infant feeding & perinatal mental health support in England.

🤱 Breastfeeding support from midwives and MSWs can boost confidence and have a lasting impact on a baby’s health.
