Brilliant to see five new Dad Matters services being established across England and Wales!❤️ Supporting parents through pregnancy and early parenthood can make a real difference to the whole family. Huge congratulations to Home Start UK and all five local teams! #1001CriticalDays
Delighted by plans to expand #HealthyBabies support through #FamilyHubs across England! ❤️ At the @1001CDF we’ve helped shape the Babies Bill to give support from pregnancy to age two an enduring foundation in law. Our ambition: support for babies worldwide.
Babies are being born into a digital world none of us grew up in. During the 1,001 critical days, their brains and relationships are developing at extraordinary speed. We need to understand what technology means for them from the very beginning. Join us on 27 October.

When @DesmondSwayne topped the Private Members’ Bill ballot, he could have chosen almost any issue. He chose babies.
His Babies Bill will put the 1,001 critical days, from pregnancy to age, two firmly on the political agenda.

#BackTheBabiesBill
Powerful coverage on GMB this am, with Dr Sanjiv Nichani making the case clearly: parents need clear info, not false reassurance. Our open letter calls on tech platforms to stop using “0+” labels, which can imply content is suitable for babies under two. 1001criticaldays.com/article…
Great to be back in Parliament to see support building for #BackTheBabiesBill
The 1,001 days, from pregnancy to age two, are a critical window for baby's development, health & future wellbeing.
That is why political support matters. 1001criticaldays.com/news/ba…
Global research commissioned by my 1001 Critical Days Foundation shows stark findings:

Not just socially good, but economically brilliant to support parents to give their babies the best start in life. Thank you for taking this forward @DesmondSwayne 🤩 For more info 1001cd.com
This will be a world first bill - making a better world for babies ❤️
