The Lullaby Trust

Who we are

The Lullaby Trust provides expert advice on safer sleep for babies supports bereaved families and raises awareness on sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

Working with the NHS we run a national health-visitor led service for bereaved parents, Care of Next Infant (CONI) programme, which supports families before and after the birth of their new baby.

We are committed to supporting research to understand why babies die suddenly and unexpectedly and to find out more about how to prevent these tragic deaths.

The Lullaby Trust also runs an information line for parents and professionals and a dedicated line for bereaved families. Both are free to call from landlines and mobiles. Advice including, factsheets and the latest research can be found on our website. The charity campaigns tirelessly, lobbying government to keep sudden infant death on the public health agenda.

Our culture and values

The Lullaby Trust is a charity that saves babies’ lives and supports bereaved families. Around 3 babies a week still die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and we are committed to bringing that number down to zero.

Through educating parents on how they can reduce the risk of SIDS and investing over £12 million in research, we have played a key role in reducing the number of babies who die from SIDS by over 80%, saving the lives of around 30,000 babies.

Each year we train thousands of health professionals to support parents in sleeping their baby safely, and reach millions of families with our vital safer sleep advice. We campaign tirelessly to raise awareness of SIDS and ensure our life saving advice reaches all parents.

The Lullaby Trust supports bereaved families, through our helpline and befriending scheme. We work with local healthcare providers to deliver the Care of Next Infant Programme (CONI) which offers a lifeline to bereaved families expecting a new baby.
