Today marks the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week for 2021.

There will be plenty of media coverage this week relating to something millions of us live with every single day. It will be highlighted this week and therefore may cross people's minds who have never directly been affected by it.

One's life is forever changed by losing a baby, and thousands of families join the statistics every year in the UK, but the subject remains taboo.

We would like to shout from the rooftops that our babies mattered, they should not be forgotten, we say their names and we want others to say their names too.

Share this post to join the Baby Loss conversation.

When a baby is lost, there is so much more that is lost.

Remember My Baby is 7 years old today.

Since our launch back in 2014, more than 4,630 photography sessions have taken place, in almost 200 hospitals, almost 60 funeral homes, around 60 family homes, and more than 30 hospices. These have been covered by more than 380 volunteers, capturing more than 150,000 images.

Many hundreds of images taken by parents and health professionals have been edited over this time by our volunteer digital retouchers.

Our hearts break for every family we meet, some families we have met more than once.

We are nothing without our incredible volunteers.

Taking place on 17 November, World Prematurity Day is a global movement to raise awareness of premature birth and the devastating impact it can have on families.

Whilst we mostly meet stillborn babies and their families, we frequently visit neonatal units to meet babies born too early.

When a family takes the time and trouble to look up their RMB Volunteer Photographer to send them a special thank you...

"Hi! I’m hoping I have the right person, but I think I do.
You came to see us at Rubislaw ward on the 22nd/23rd (I forget which, bit of a blur) to photograph our beautiful daughter Emilia after she had passed. I had to find you to thank you so much for doing an incredible job of capturing her and us with her. Until we received your photos I hadn’t looked at any, deliberately because it was too hard. It took a lot (and a fair bit of wine) to open your pictures when they arrived but I’m so grateful to have them. There’s so much love and pain in those photos. And because of you I can cherish her forever. The last month and a bit have been the hardest of my life, but your beautiful photos have brought me closer to her. You do an incredible thing - you are a stronger person than I am. It’s not lost on me how hard it must be for you to capture those moments. But I can wholeheartedly promise you that I undoubtedly speak for all the parents you’ve worked with,in this capacity, that we appreciate it more than you know.
Thank you for giving us our beautiful baby girl to cherish forever."

Every image is captured with compassion and edited with love ❤️💔📷

Thank you for such a beautiful message and for allowing us to share it with others ❤️
