When midwifery and neonatal experts come together, we have the power to unlock what is perceived as impossible and make CHANGE happen. For birthing women, people, babies and families. For our professions too. #MaternityandNeonatalSummit2023 TeamCMidO #MaternityWorkforce

❗ Hanging a cloth from the pram hood can cause OVERHEATING ❗ On hot days, it’s important to keep air circulating around your baby because this cools them down. A clip-on sunshade or parasol is a good solution as it keeps the sun off your little one but doesn’t trap the hot air
