"The @HUGrhc nurses don’t just look after your baby, they look after you too and become like extended family. Absolutely remarkable people and they made our daughter’s NICU journey that bit easier as well us supporting her dad and me." Mum, Erin #NICUAwarenessMonth

She has created a service which has transformed neonatal surgical care enabling babies and their families to be cared for in units closer to home or at home with support. We are so thankful for everything you have done for neonatal care! Enjoy your well deserved rest! 🥰🫶🏻

The loss doesn’t need to be recent and families can apply to record more than one loss. 🪽🫶🏻 For more information please visit gov.scot/news/baby-loss-memo… #babylossawarenessweek #BLAW2023

This will offer the opportunity to provide recognition & may provide comfort to those who wish to have a record of their loss. This is a personal choice and some families may want some time to think about it.

As part of baby loss awareness week we would like to highlight the memory milk gift initiative 🤎 This initiative launched in Scotland last year & gives bereaved families the choice to donate breast milk in memory of their baby 🤍 @Scotmemorymilk

Should a family choose this option they will go through a screening process and will have their baby’s name added to a hand painted tree located in the milk bank at the Queen Elizabeth hospital. 🌳

Families will also receive a memory milk pebble with their baby’s name to remember their precious gift to others. Mathew James was the first baby to have a leaf on the tree and since the launch in September 2022 19 babies have been commemorated on the tree at the milk bank. 🍃
