Where it starts.

Each project arrives with its purpose, milestones and first tasks written out. Here is how the first three read.

Newborn support contacts sheet

At 3am with a baby who will not feed, nobody wants to search for the right number. One sheet on the fridge and in both phones, listing the midwife team or health visitor, the out-of-hours medical line, a feeding helpline and two people who will come round, takes twenty minutes and removes the hunt at the moment you are least able to do it.

First tasks

  • Find the midwife team and health visitor numbers in your discharge papers
  • Look up the out-of-hours medical line and a national feeding helpline
  • Ask two nearby people whether they can be called at short notice
  • Print the sheet for the fridge and save the numbers in both phones

Urgent newborn warning signs card

Newborns can become unwell quickly, and the signs that need a same-day call or the emergency number are easy to forget when exhausted. Copying the warning signs your midwife or health service publishes onto one card, with who to call for each, means neither parent has to decide from memory whether a high temperature, floppiness or fewer wet nappies can wait until morning.

First tasks

  • Find the newborn warning signs leaflet in your discharge pack or on your health service website
  • Sort each sign into emergency now or same-day advice
  • Write the right phone number beside each group
  • Show the card to your partner and anyone who babysits

Safe sleep space for the first six months

Most new parents know babies should sleep on their backs, yet the cot often ends up holding a bumper, a pillow or a sheepskin from a well-meaning gift. Setting up one clear, flat sleep space in the parents' room, checked against the guidance of a recognised safe sleep organisation, covers night sleep and daytime naps from the first night home.

First tasks

  • Read a safe sleep checklist from a recognised safe sleep organisation
  • Take everything except a fitted sheet out of the cot or crib
  • Put a room thermometer near the cot and check the reading at bedtime
  • Agree what each parent does when too sleepy to feed safely in bed
