A rainbow baby is a baby born following the loss of another. A rainbow is something beautiful that follows a storm and while it doesn’t deny the storm, it offers beauty and hope of brighter days to come.

WHAT IS THE RAINBOW PROJECT?

We understand first hand how tough a rainbow baby pregnancy can be. With thoughtful care bundles, we offer extra support to families navigating pregnancy after a stillbirth or neonatal death. Focusing on self-care, positivity and the importance of baby movements, the bundles have been gifted to over 500 families across the UK since the project launched. Importantly, the contents were compiled by suggestions and ideas from other families who've experienced pregnancy after a loss.

Speaking as a mother who received a bundle, I cannot express how wonderful these are and what a difference they make. Not just for the contents but also really helps you feel like there's people out there who "get it" and who want to understand and help. Rainbow pregnancies are wonderful but also come with awfully high anxiety rates. Any beautiful thing like this helps. Thanks you Kicks Count xxx - SAMANTHA
