The fifth and final day of is here đź’›
Thank you for being part of this special and powerful awareness week. We hope the conversations, reflections, and shared experiences throughout the week have offered moments of insight, connection, and inspiration as we explored the theme of .
As we close the week, today we explore our final sub-theme — an important and sensitive one, but also one that carries a message of hope and healing.
Today, we are reflecting on how to support parents who may be holding experiences of grief, trauma, loss, anxiety, or perinatal illness around the time of their baby’s arrival.
These experiences can understandably make it harder for parents to connect with or fully experience their baby in the early days and weeks. Yet through slow, compassionate, non-judgemental care and relationships, we can gently help bring the baby into view — supporting moments of connection that can become part of a family’s healing journey.
Look out for today:
🎥 Our final “In Conversation” discussion of the week with Dr Anne-Marie Casey, Senior Clinical Psychologist in Neonatology at Children’s Health Ireland, who so thoughtfully shares her rich experience of supporting parents and babies through these deeply emotional experiences.
✨ Reflective prompts and practical takeaways to support thinking about how we can better see the baby within today’s theme.
As comes to a close, we hope the theme of continues beyond this week — in everyday moments of care, observation, connection, and relationship with babies and their families.
Thank you for joining us, sharing your reflections, and helping keep babies at the centre of our conversations!
