Baskets of Love: Mums of children with Down syndrome aim to banish negativity

Helen O’Callaghan speaks with two mums, each with a toddler with Down syndrome, seeking to end the negative attitudes to a diagnosis of the condition.   

Two mums, each with a toddler with Down syndrome, have for six months been sending gift hampers to mums of newborns diagnosed with the condition.

For Sinead Fidgeon and Rachel Adams, Baskets of Love is a bid to banish negative attitudes to a Down syndrome diagnosis and to say to new mums: ‘Congratulations, Mama. You did an amazing job! Your child is perfect.’
