What is Baby Lifeline?

Baby Lifeline came into being in 1981 after Judy Ledger, now Chief Executive, suffered the personal loss of three premature babies.It is a unique national charity offering loving care and support to pregnant mothers and new born babies all over the UK and to date has contributed more than £5 million to Britain 's maternity hospitals and services.

However, it is an unfortunate fact that even with the advances in medical care and science today, more than 8,500 babies still die at or around the time of birth, so there is still a lot more work to be done.

What does Baby Lifeline do?

Simple really...... Baby Lifeline cares - cares and helps.
Funds raised help to supply hospitals up and down the country with equipment ranging from digital weighing scales to major pieces of technology such as incubators and scanners. The charity is equally proud of the support it gives to training and education programmes for doctors, midwives and other associated health professionals.

And that 's not all, on top of this Baby Lifeline, with the help of leading experts in the maternal health field, has produced a series of nine interactive videos, the B.I.R.T.H. series which has been of great benefit to maternity units all over the U.K. The series has received endorsement from the Royal College of Midwives as well as The Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists.
