Baby Week has a bold vision to make UK the best place to grow up in. We can do this by bringing sectors and services together to promote the best start in life. Over the past eight years, hundreds of citywide events have been held with thousands of attendees including parents, expectant parents, practitioners and professionals, and of course babies! The main aims of Baby Week are increasing awareness of, and access to, supportive services; raising awareness and engagement with the relevant local strategies & intervention; improving outcomes during pregnancy and inthe first five years of life and celebrating success and good practice.

Join in the Baby Week Wiggle, let yourself go, put your own stamp on it, and we promise you’ll feel great! You can wiggle sitting down, standing up, indoors or outdoors. We’d absolutely LOVE it if you shared your own videos of you, your early years settings, your play groups and your workplaces doing the Baby Week Wiggle.

Thank you to the wonderful Faye from BoomChikkaBoom and Davinder and the team at Punjabi Roots Academy for filming and editing this video. A big thank you to Baby Week Bradford for sharing this with us!

“In our Maternity Strategy for Leeds 2015 – 2020 our vision is to be the best city by 2030, and an essential part of this is being the best city for children and young people to grow up in. Baby Week Leeds plays a key role in achieving that vision as it helps to promote the best start in life. The work of Baby Week is not only delivered at a local footprint but feeds into the work done at a regional level with others following our footsteps.”

– Dr Jane Mischenko, NHS Leeds CCGs, 2021

“First time being part of Baby Week Leeds and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. Fantastic speakers and very informative. Great way of connecting with others too and learning about how other organisations have been working differently during the pandemic. Fantastic to see health inequalities being raised and featured in this event”

– Balvinder Dosanjh, Perinatal Mental Health Service, 2020

“Ensuring children have the best start in life is a top priority for Leeds. By working together with our partners in health and education we can make sure that all children are able to benefit from the best services and opportunities as soon as they are born. We are very excited to be bringing Baby Week to Leeds – which will not only help new parents and parents-to-be but also professionals and students.”

– Councillor Lisa Mulherin, Former Executive Member at Leeds City Council, 2016
