Can you help with this survey? 📝

Sharing on behalf of Newcastle University.

Hot weather, pregnancy, and newborn health – what are your views?
We want to hear your views about hot weather in England during pregnancy and the first month of a baby’s life.

This includes your thoughts or experiences (if applicable) of the summer months.
Who can take part in the survey?
People (16 years old +) living in England who:
• are pregnant.
• have been pregnant in the last 12 months.
• are a parent, guardian, or carer of a baby aged 12 months or under (not as part of paid work).
• have been a parent, guardian, or carer of a baby aged 12 months or under in the last 12 months (not as part of paid work).
• are a partner of any of the above.

If any of the above apply to you, please share your thoughts and experiences with us in a 20-30 minute survey. There is also a chance to win a £50 shopping voucher.

This research will help develop guidance for future parents, guardians and carers.

Falls from windows often happen very quickly.
Make sure there is nothing your child can climb on that could put them at risk.

Every child develops at their own pace.

Your child's 2 and 2.5 year review will help us together to identify and talk about any areas of their development that are going well or that may need more support.

If you have any worries about your child's progress, you can call Just One Number on 0300 300 0123, contact Parentline on 07520 631590 or visit our website Just One Norfolk on: https://www.justonenorfolk.nhs.uk/our-services/healthy-child-services-0-5/

Your appointment may be in the home or at one of our community venues.
Norfolk HCS - we are here to help.

Our volunteers need to be able to listen, empathise and support others in a sensitive and non-judgemental way. They help to promote and normalise breastfeeding/chestfeeding & support all infant feeding parents, including those who are formula feeding, mixed feeding and introducing or feeding solid foods.

Volunteers will attend community groups across the region to offer support and information to parents around all aspects of infant feeding.
