Building Foundations for Life
This year, Baby Week proudly marks its 10th anniversary – a decade of celebrating babies, families, and and championing the importance of the early years, from pregnancy through to age five. Since its launch in Leeds in 2016, inspired by UNICEF’s Semana do Bebê in Brazil, Baby Week has grown into a national movement, sharing best practice across cities and uniting health, education, and community partners to promote the best start in life. Over the last ten years, Baby Week has engaged thousands of families, expectant parents, carers, and professionals through events, workshops, and community celebrations, all focused on creating healthier, happier beginnings.
