In terms of equipment through research and talking with other parents with CP these are some of the most useful equipment:A lot of being a parent is trial and error. Even more so when we have CP. Your midwife or health visitor should work with you to find solutions that work for you.One group I would suggest is Enabled2Parent. They have a wealth of experience and will work with you and your health professionals.Scope
