Position Statements
PLIDA has created Position Statements
that promote the highest standard of supportive care for
bereaved parents.
PLIDA Position Statements advocate for
parents’ emotional needs and the provision of compassionate,
relationship-based care. Use them to increase awareness,
educate people, inform policy, sustain supportive programs,
or encourage change. Please print, copy, and distribute.

Available Position Statements
Infection
risks are insignificant for bereaved parents who have
close contact with their deceased baby’s body.
When bereaved parents hold their baby's
body for any length of time after death, there is little or
no impact on
postmortem pathology studies.
Bereaved parents have the right to decide
whether, when, and how to spend time
holding their baby.
When
offering the baby
to bereaved parents, the health care
provider should engage them in ongoing conversations about
their feelings and ideas, and respond to their unique needs.
