Around 45% of families in the UK are now one-child families, increasingly by choice but also due to factors outside parents' control, such as the cost of living, infertility, relationship breakdown and birth trauma. Whatever their circumstances, parents are often told that their child will struggle with friendships, be lonely, or be spoiled, and they may frequently be asked if they are having more children, which can be intrusive and upsetting. Why One-Child Families Matter looks at the evidence surrounding one-child families, showing how childhood experiences and outcomes are complex and shaped by much more than the number of siblings a child has. With strategies to support only children, and contributions from hundreds of one-child families, it reveals the ways that one-child families can thrive.

Media headlines from around the world are increasingly highlighting the mental health toll of working within healthcare, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. Likewise, we know that infant feeding experiences can leave a lasting memory for mothers who have struggled. But what about those working to support new families with feeding their baby? Who is listening to and supporting them?In a society that does not understand, value or protect breastfeeding, working or volunteering in lactation support can sometimes feel like a never-ending battle. For every family whose life you change with your support, it feels like another five appear. You see your guidance and support overridden by others in the system who do not understand or who are motivated to convince a new mother to feed her baby in a different way. Frustrations with paperwork, bureaucracy and an underfunded system can leave many feeling frazzled and burnt out. But still many continue, driven by a passion to support breastfeeding, immense personal joy and reward from the success stories, and a determination to make a difference to families, both now and in the future. The Compassion Code: Power, perseverance and passion in lactation support draws on research with over 700 practitioners and volunteers working across the field of lactation to support families. It unpicks and reflects on the challenges of the role while also reminding us why we continue. Most importantly it focuses on the future. What is it about this vocation that keeps bringing people back day after day? How can we nurture and support those working in this field? Ultimately how can we fight to not only protect breastfeeding for the next generation but also those working to support them?

As the Covid-19 pandemic took hold, pregnancy and maternity services underwent a rapid transformation in an attempt to deal with transmission of the virus and the growing pressure on healthcare services. In a climate of fear, and with many unknowns about the virus and the risks to pregnant women and their babies, restrictions and hastily implemented policies often overrode years of work to improve maternity care, with devastating consequences for new families. Covid Babies: how pandemic health measures undermined pregnancy, birth and early parenting considers how policies put in place to protect us from the immediate threat of the virus ultimately had the unintended consequence of harming many who needed maternity and postnatal care. It highlights how hard-won gains, even when supported by overwhelming evidence, can be lost at the drop of a hat in a crisis. By learning the lessons of the pandemic – through close examination of the evidence base that is now emerging – Amy Brown shows how we can begin to move forward and unravel what has gone wrong. This is no easy task when our health services continue to face significant challenges, but one that is necessary to ensure the health and wellbeing of our new families and those who care for them.
