World Prematurity Day

17 November is World Prematurity Day. This special day is a key moment to raise awareness for preterm birth and its consequences. For Little Dutch an inspiration to do something special for the Neonatal Care Unit of the Mother & Child Centre of the Erasmus MC-Sophia Chrildren’s hospital. With a lot of love we had more than 700 swaddles made for Kangaroo Mother Care at the unit. This is skin-to-skin contact between parent and a preterm baby wrapped in a soft and comfortable swaddle. The swaddles are also used in the cribs as blankets, together with baby caps, to keep a baby warm.
