What is the problem you found?

How might we normalise and give young mums the confidence to make their own choices for their children?

Customer / Problem

Our customers are young mums aged between 14 - 25, who might not have the support of family, partner or community to support them and make key decisions on how to care for their baby.

They are therefore are seeking information, advice and support on how to care for their baby and cope with being a new mum.

What Is Your Solution?

"How To Be A Mum, a book by real mums" Young Parents Book & Website.

The book and website is aimed at providing relatable advice and support for new young mums. It will cover information and advice on topics such as breastfeeding, bathing and co-sleeping and also activities suggestions. There will also be links to external support services who can help them and a hotline for support from an on-call nurse.
