World Prematurity Day 2021

17 November is World Prematurity Day. For several years, this has been a great occasion for Little Dutch to put preterm babies and their parents in the Neonatology ward in the spotlight.
In 2021, Little Dutch once more visited the Mother and Child Centre in the Erasmus MC-Sophia Children's Hospital. This time, we brought two baskets full of delightfully soft blankets. The blankets, which were specially made for the Neonatology ward, can be used in the cradle or incubator, or during kangaroo care. Kangaroo care involves skin-to-skin contact between parent and the preterm baby, who is bundled in a soft, comfortable blanket or swaddle. On top of that, we also brought Little Goose cuddle cloths that the Foundation could hand out to the little patients in the ward.

As always, it was great to be able to do our bit for the comfort of the little patients and their parents in the Neonatology ward.
