What we do
BABY-I is a support and signposting service for young mothers with newborn babies and the people around them. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, frightened, or worried you might leave your baby or can’t cope, you are not alone—there is help. We offer a compassionate listening ear, practical guidance, and support connecting you to the right services—so you feel safer and supported, with a clear next step.
Knowing what to do when your baby needs you most.
Free infant first aid, gift packs for new mother & Baby
No mother should face an emergency alone!
The Moment That Matters
"Most parents have never been shown what to do if their baby chokes or stops breathing. We believe that knowledge should be free, gentle to learn, and within everyone's reach — wherever they live, whatever their circumstances."
Come to a free local blended session and awareness' near you, meet other mothers, ask questions, and stay connected. You are part of BABY-I now — and we don't disappear.

If you’re worried you might leave your baby (or can’t keep your baby safe)
These feelings can happen when you’re exhausted, scared, isolated, or under pressure. You deserve support right now—without judgement.
BABY-I is a signposting service and not an emergency service. If a baby is at risk of harm, urgent services should be contacted first.
