Every family deserves the chance to be fully present during the most critical moments of their baby’s life. We believe in the power of family presence to transform outcomes for infants & their parents. Continuous parental presence in the NICU is more than a comfort—it’s a cornerstone for better medical, emotional, and cognitive outcomes for infants. We are dedicated to improving infant wellness and advocating for systemic changes that break down barriers for NICU families. This includes supporting policies that enable parental presence and fostering environments that empower caregivers with the tools they need to bond, nurture, and thrive alongside their babies. #NICUCare #NICUAwareness #PrematureBabies #InfantHealth
In the NICU, every moment with a parent counts. Parental presence isn’t just comforting; it’s essential for the infant's medical, emotional, and cognitive development. Being there for bonding moments like skin-to-skin, holding, and eye contact builds a foundation for lifelong connections, reduces stress, and boosts parental confidence. This is why #NicuFamilyPresence matters! ➡️ Help us advocate for policies that prioritize continuous family presence.

🤱 Breastfeeding & Maternal Health: Supporting Mothers Through the Postpartum Journey 🌸 The postpartum period is a profound time of change for new mothers, filled with physical recovery, hormonal shifts, and emotional adjustments. Unfortunately, many mothers face challenges during this time, with maternity blues affecting a significant number and up to 15% experiencing postpartum depression (PPD). But there’s hope. Recent research highlights the protective role of breastfeeding in promoting maternal mental health. Here’s what we found compelling: 🌀 Hormonal Regulation: Breastfeeding helps balance stress and regulate the circadian rhythm, with prolactin and the physical act of nursing reducing emotional strain. 😴 Better Sleep & Confidence: Breastfeeding can help stabilize sleep patterns and boost maternal self-efficacy, strengthening the bond between mother and baby. 💡 Holistic Care is Key: Whether a mom chooses breastfeeding or formula feeding, non-judgmental support is vital for emotional well-being and preventing mood disorders. Importantly, the study calls for routine emotional assessments of new mothers. This is particularly critical in regions like Europe, where postpartum mental health support is often limited. At The Natural Nipple, we’re committed to empowering moms during this transformative time, fostering emotional and physical health through innovative solutions and compassionate care. 🌸 Whether a mother breastfeeds or formula feeds, judgment-free support is the cornerstone of maternal and family well-being. What steps can we take together to better support mothers during the postpartum journey? Let’s continue the conversation. 👇 🔗 Read the research: https://lnkd.in/eq8MBzQE

The infant feeding industry has remarkably seen little innovation since the first bottle nipple was patented in the 1840s. For nearly two centuries, feeding tools have largely overlooked the individual needs of babies and their unique connection to their mothers. This lack of personalization in bottle design is surprising, given the critical role early nutrition plays in lifelong health. Studies show that breastfed infants experience fewer infections, healthier growth patterns, and stronger immunity—benefits that traditional bottle nipples have struggled to replicate effectively. We’ve changed the game by creating a feeding system that adapts to both the baby’s needs and the mother’s natural anatomy. Our patented design is the first of its kind to mimic the form & function of breast, creating a seamless transition from breast to bottle. By using data-driven technology, we aim to support the feeding journey with a personalized, science-backed solution, ensuring each feeding experience is as close to nature as possible. It’s time to transform how we think about infant feeding, focusing on individualization and connection. Here’s to the next generation of infant health and wellness. https://lnkd.in/eWWVt8DM

Behind the Scenes: Crafting The Natural Nipple for your feeding journey 🍼🔍 At The Natural Nipple, every bottle we make is a labor of love and rigorous science. Our process starts with sourcing high-quality, medical-grade silicone that meets stringent European and U.S. safety standards. 🧪 Each batch undergoes thorough testing, simulating everyday use scenarios, such as heating milk or formula to 100°C, to ensure no harmful substances leach out. Our team works closely with material scientists and healthcare professionals to analyze each batch for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and heavy metals like lead and cadmium—none of which are detected in our bottles. To maintain this level of safety, we retest one in every 100 bottles for any possible contaminants, going above and beyond industry standards. It's not just about meeting regulations; it's about exceeding them. We're setting a new benchmark for infant feeding products. 💚✨ https://lnkd.in/evk3maNy #BehindTheScenes #InfantSafety #TheNaturalNipple #Transparency #PerinatalCare
