A rainbow baby is the name given to a baby born shortly after a child was lost through miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death.

The term rainbow symbolises the beauty and peace which often follows a turbulent and stormy time.

Website The Bump describes them as: “A rainbow baby is a baby born shortly after the loss of a previous baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or death in infancy.

“This term is given to these special rainbow babies because a rainbow typically follows a storm, giving us hope of what’s to come.”
