Dear mothers, we have met a lot of you during our work and we deeply believe that you, mothers, are the bravest and those that are facing the hardest challenge on your journeys – how to protect your child in a hard and difficult situations. We all wish for our children to grow in a warm home and under proper conditions in which we can take care of them regularly and properly. However, when we are in situations outside of our home and our country, on the road or in a forest, as well as in a badly-equipped camp and generally in conditions that are not fit for babies and small children, it is not easy to find a way to keep good hygiene and to provide a proper care for a babies.
We give you this leaflet precisely because we have talked with a lot of mothers as you, that have fled from war and persecution, among whom were those who fled with very young babies and other which gave birth during the journey.
In this leaflet you will also find advice from a pediatrician who is a mother herself, and who works with babies and gives advice to mothers in a friendly and humane way.
We hope that you will use this leaflet and that it will be valuable for you. We wish you luck with the infinite respect for your bravery and dedication.
This leaflet is product of a project Support to baby and mother refugees in and around asylum centres and in Belgrade. It is carried out by the Asylum Protection Centre with the support of the Embassy of the United States of America in Serbia.
We remain at your disposal if you were to have any additional questions.
