These popular flyers explain why mums should never use a home doppler if they’re concerned about their baby. The flyer is double-sided and features information on baby movements on the back.

These leaflets are great for midwives and other medical professionals who would like to discourage mums from using the devices and are a great way to start a conversation about their dangers.
