Dads sometimes all your wife needs is a cozy space for your baby. Have you gotten them one yet?
Some health conditions may not be obvious, which is why follow-up checkups and timely screening matter for premature babies. Watch as our doctor explains the important screenings babies may need and how identified conditions are managed.

No parent should have to navigate the journey of prematurity alone.

Musawo I for one was discharged with my 7 months old and guided by badawo not to shower then but instead wipe them with a wet small towel for 3 months. Then did kangaroo method a lot esp on cold days & used to express breast milk. My baby was so tiny & delicate to lie in a basin

Hey @PretermsUg, Iโd like your thoughts on this.
I recently followed up with a mother whom we delivered at 33 weeks due to an obstetric emergency. The baby was born stable, spent a few days in NICU before being discharged. When I called to check on them and remind her of the follow up clinic, she told me she hadnโt bathed the baby yet. She said she was waiting until the EDD because she believes preterm babies should not be bathed until their due date which would mean in this case no bath for about six to seven weeks.
Do you come across beliefs like this often? We clearly still need a lot of sensitization around preterm care. Thank you for the important work you do for our premies.
PIPNU is expanding to the Rwenzori Region๐
Today, we met with the team at Fort Portal Regional Referral Hospital to plan how we will introduce community follow-up services for preterm and very sick babies and their families across the region.
Our specialist is reminding mothers that babies with cerebral palsy need love, communication and stimulation. Talk to your baby, engage with them and respond to their needs. Even when they cannot express themselves in words, your voice, touch & attention matter.

Kangaroo Care starts with safe, guided participation. ๐ Parents can play an important role in their babyโs care in the NICU, with support from the healthcare team.

Every baby deserves a fighting chance, no matter how early they arrive๐
Sometimes, the simplest acts of love make the biggest difference. Together, we are turning fragile beginnings into stories of hope, strength and survival.
