Loss after birth
The loss of a child after birth, whether the loss be a neonatal loss (within the first 28-days), or within the initial months or years of life, is heartbreaking.
Neonatal Loss
How common is neonatal or early years loss?
There are around 2300 babies lost within the first 28-days of life each year in the UK. The number of children lost after this stage reduces dramatically.
