FSID Has Changed Their Name - The Lullaby Trust ⋆ Julie's Notebook

From today, Wednesday the 10th of April, FSID are changing their name to The Lullaby Trust.

Bright new future, in support of Edspire!

This is a much more gentle sounding name and might help families feel more able to access the information and services that they provide.
This was top secret until now, so look suprised? 😉

I’m sharing this music video to help spread the word about the new name change.

I think it’s a beautiful song, and is also very relevant as I was encouraged to write this by Jennie Edspire whose angel Matilda Mae passed away. Her name meant “star of the sea” so Star Sailor’s Lullaby was the obvious choice for me to use, after a bit of careful thought.

Online you’ll find lots of advice about trying to prevent cot death, but if you aren’t sure I’d check what your local NHS advise. Maybe a health visitor, or check the information at your doctors surgery.
