Postnatal discharge information

Information for families once they are ready to leave hospital. 

The Lullaby Trust have an excellent app called "Baby Check" which many families have found useful and reassuring. It helps you decide if your baby needs to see a healthcare professional.

Check the NHS website for newborn and baby sleeping advice for parents. UNICEF also have a great resource to help you learn more about caring for your baby at night and when sleeping.
