It can help families to take control of their situation, and can empower them to have more confidence in their baby’s care. Receiving trustworthy and accessible information at the right time can also help families feel less isolated and more involved in caring for their baby.
How Bliss produces health information
We know that high-quality information is essential for families who have a baby or babies in neonatal care.
When I had my daughter at 24 weeks I felt completely alone. I didn't know what information was available or what to expect. Bliss' website and booklets became my main source of information.
