About Little Lullaby
Getting to know us
The Lullaby Trust is proud to introduce Little Lullaby, its site dedicated for young parents.
Little Lullaby was created in response to the increased risk of babies born to mums under 20, dying of SIDS. Babies born to mothers below the age of 20 are four times more likely to die from sudden infant death syndrome (ONS, 2018).
Knowing this, we want to stop all unexpected deaths of babies and toddlers born to young parents and to help them feel better informed about sleeping their babies safely.
Backed by The Big Lottery Fund, we provide an online space where young parents and parents-to-be can chat, tell their story and support each other through pregnancy, birth and beyond.
As well as creating an online community, with the help of our Young Parent Ambassadors, we spread safer sleep advice to young parents aged 25 or under through our safer sleep workshops, website, blog, social media and our work with professionals.
Our Vision
Little Lullaby wants to stop all unexpected deaths of babies and toddlers born to young parents. We want young parents to feel better informed, more confident and less isolated through pregnancy, birth and parenthood.
