Safer Sleep Week is an annual campaign run by the Lullaby Trust to raise awareness of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and the safer sleep advice that reduces the risk of it occurring. Sadly, around five babies a week in the UK die from SIDS.
This year, the focus of Safer Sleep Week is on co-sleeping. It is estimated that by the age of three months half of all babies born in England and Wales will have slept in an adult bed with one or both parents, whether intended or not.
Beverley Ladies Circle welcomed their new Chair and it was made all the more special as the handover event was held on the 80th birthday of the Ladies Circle organisation.
