Touching the lives of the tiny little ones who need our support
As we return to a world where we can enjoy physical connections with family and friends, we can all appreciate the significance touch has, in helping us feel loved and cared for. Touch is the first sense a baby develops and is the most active sense connecting them to the outside world. But when a baby is born too soon, so is their skin. For the 1 in 13 babies born prematurely in the UK, their skin is up to 2x thinner than that of a full-term baby’s, making it sensitive and fragile. From comfort holding to a nappy change, every touch can feel huge to a preemie baby, and it plays a vital role in their early development and parental bonding. However, touch can be restricted for a number of reasons when a preemie baby is on a neonatal unit, impacting their ability to connect with their families.

Absolutely! My twin sisters were born at 32 weeks and were in NICU for a few weeks! They’re 11 years old now and thriving ✨ ❤️

Definitely
My little one was born at 34 weeks and spent two weeks in Special Baby Care Unit
It was the worst time of my life but the supportive midwives were amazing and got us through it
