GPs! 👋
Can you help with research about the 6-8week check?
We’re recruiting GPs REGARDLESS of expertise/experience in postnatal care.
If you are not a parent yourself, or are doing these appointments remotely we especially want to hear from you

Its a common occurrence for one breastfed twin or triplet to need to go into hospital. Hospitals often have a blanket policy that siblings cannot attend but what about when the other baby/ies left at home are the same age? This needs to be considered
