Angelcare, a leader in baby care technology, and The Lullaby Trust, the UK’s leading baby sleep charity, are proud to announce a new partnership which focuses on providing crucial support to bereaved families and promoting safer sleep practices.
For families who have experienced the devastating loss of a baby, the journey of welcoming another child can be filled with complex emotions, including heightened anxiety around bedtime. The collaboration addresses the unique needs of these families, offering them practical support when they go on to have another baby. The partnership features the Angelcare AC25-1 Baby Movement Monitor with Video & Sound, which is a medically certified device designed to provide families peace of mind during an emotionally challenging time.
The Angelcare AC25-1 features:
- Movement Sensor Pad: Detects baby’s movements and triggers an alarm after 20 seconds of inactivity, giving caregivers the opportunity to intervene if necessary.
- High-Quality Video and Sound Monitoring: Allows caregivers to observe their baby if the need to leave the room briefly.
- Room Temperature Monitoring: Ensures a comfortable sleep environment.
The Lullaby Trust advises that while a monitor can never replace a parent or carer’s supervision of a baby and there is no research to suggest that using one can prevent SIDS, the features of a movement monitor can help give parents peace of mind and offer reassurance while their new baby sleeps.
“At Angelcare, we are deeply honoured to partner with The Lullaby Trust in their vital mission to support bereaved families and promote safer sleep for babies,” said Rahul Sharda, CEO of Angelcare. “This collaboration is a privilege, allowing us to provide reassurance to families who have lost a child, when they welcome their new baby and make a meaningful impact in their lives. With the Medically Certified AC25-1 Baby Movement Monitor, we are committed to helping to ensure every bereaved family has the support they need during such a worrying time.”
Angelcare’s ongoing support will enable The Lullaby Trust to continue to share its baby safety advice and support bereaved families across the UK. Crucially, Angelcare will also donate 250 AC25-1 monitors to The Lullaby Trust’s Care of Next Infant (CONI) programme, which provides emotional and practical support to bereaved families before and after the birth of their new baby.
This partnership underscores the commitment of both Angelcare and The Lullaby Trust to provide parents with the tools and knowledge they need.
