This has been written in partnership with parents from across Yorkshire & Humber. The aim of the booklet is to help you understand why your baby needs tube feeds and learn how to give a tube feed. Once you have completed this learning pack, you will be able to undertake tube feeding

independently.

It has been designed to be used alongside conversation and demonstrations between yourself and neonatal staff and should not be used as a standalone teaching method.

Supporting infant feeding and relationship building

Baby Friendly's work to support breastfeeding is based on extensive and resounding evidence that breastfeeding saves lives, improves health and cuts costs in every country worldwide, rich and poor alike. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended by the WHO recommends for babies until six months' old and thereafter with other foods for two years and beyond.

In the UK, many mothers stop breastfeeding before they want to. We respond to the particular barriers they face by supporting health professionals to provide sensitive and effective care so that mothers can make an informed choice about feeding, get breastfeeding off to a good start and overcome any challenges. Thanks to this work, breastfeeding initiation rates have risen by 20% since the Baby Friendly Initiative was established.

We also support parents who are formula feeding by providing information on choosing milks and making up feeds, helping them to feed safely and responsively. In addition, we advocate for better regulation of marketing of breastmilk substitutes so that health professionals and families can receive scientific, unbiased and factual information about infant feeding.

Baby Friendly works to support all families to develop close and loving relationships with their newborn and to understand the importance of this for their baby's development. For example, in Baby Friendly hospitals mothers and babies now routinely stay together in the immediate post-birth period, helping to get their relationship off to a good start. In addition, our neonatal standards empower parents of sick or preterm babies to take an active part in their care on the neonatal unit. In these ways, the Baby Friendly Initiative is helping to create a "new normal" in health services, where babies, their mothers and families are put at the heart of care.

Hello

Welcome to The Smallest Things, a registered charity promoting the good health of premature babies and their families. We're really glad you found us. Whether you're a parent or family member looking for support, an employer wanting to help your staff, or a health professional looking for information, you're in the right place.

Following its #NotMatLeave campaign, The Smallest Things was delighted when the government announced in March 2020 that parents of babies admitted to neonatal care would receive paid time off work.

Plans for 2022/23 were recently made public and once again the government has failed to include neonatal leave. This is despite Prime Minister Boris Johnson assuring us in November 2021 that legislation would be brought forward ''one way or another''.

Neonatal families have been forgotten and continue to be kept apart by work and financial pressures at a time they need to be together most.

About us
The Smallest Things exists because we don't believe there's enough understanding of the unique needs of families of premature babies.
Going home from the hospital is far from the end of the journey through neonatal care. Many babies have longer-term needs and lots of parents struggle mentally, practically and financially following the trauma of NICU. We're here for them.

From signing the petition to extend parental leave to making a donation or hosting a picnic, there are lots of ways you can support The Smallest Things...

Fundraise for us
Fancy getting your trainers on and running 10K? Or perhaps coffee and cake are more your thing? There are lots of ways to raise money for The Smallest Things and we'll support you every step of the way.

Ask your employer
In February 2018, with no sign of new legislation on the cards, we launched our Employer with Heart charter, asking businesses to extend parental leave for staff who have babies born early. Has your workplace signed up to our charter yet?

Make a donation
We're a tiny charity run entirely by volunteers so every penny really does count. Your donations help us to raise awareness, carry out research, host events, consult with government officials and launch schemes such as our 'preemie proud' red book stickers.

Sign the petition
More than 350,000 people have signed our petition asking Kelly Tolhurst MP and government colleagues to recognise the significant and unique needs of families with children born prematurely and to extend statutory leave accordingly. Is your name on the list?
