Today is World Prematurity Day! Over 13 million babies are born too soon every year. 💜 Every baby, no matter where, when, or how they are born, deserves access to quality care to survive and thrive. Did you know that around 60% of twins are born before 37 weeks? For TAPS twins, the average gestation is just 32 weeks, meaning that our families are very familiar with the neonatal units and long term outcomes of TAPS. Join us in raising awareness for preterm babies and their families, and as we talk about the special considerations for twins born with TAPS. We’ll be posting today about the things you need to know, and join us in ensuring they get the care they need. #WorldPrematurityDay2024 #WPD2024 #WorldPrematurityDay #WPD #BornTooSoon #PreemiePower #PretermBirth #PrematureBirth #TAPSTwins

Did you know that globally, around 21% of all births are delivered via cesarean section? 🌍 This makes it one of the most common surgical procedures worldwide. As we recognize Caesarean Awareness Month, let's take a moment to appreciate the strength and resilience of mothers who have undergone this procedure. Cesarean births can be essential for the health and safety of both mother and baby, but they also come with unique challenges and recovery experiences. It's crucial to raise awareness and foster understanding about the diverse journeys of motherhood. Let's use this month to advocate for informed choices, compassionate care, and inclusive support for mothers everywhere. #CaesareanAwarenessMonth #CSection #CSectionAwarenessMonth #SupportMothers #BirthStory

World Prematurity Day 2024: Access to quality care everywhere! Each year, over 13 million babies are born preterm, many in places without access to adequate healthcare. Today on World Prematurity Day the theme calls for access to quality care everywhere. This year’s theme underscores the urgent need for equitable, high-quality care for every preterm baby, regardless of where, when, or how they are born. Access to specialised equipment like Diamedica’s baby CPAP can be life-changing, helping preterm infants breathe easier and thrive in LMICs. Let's raise awareness and ensure every baby gets the care they need to survive and flourish. #WorldPrematurityDay2024 #WPD2024 #WorldPrematurityDay #BornTooSoon #PretermBirth 

Doctors Can Now Save Very Premature Babies Medical advances over the past several decades have given hospitals the ability to save younger and younger premature newborns. Yet most hospitals don’t try—and parents often aren’t aware of what’s possible or that other hospitals, even just a few miles away, might offer their newborns a fighting chance. Doctors are now capable of saving the lives of babies born at 22 weeks and, in rare cases, a week earlier, with improved techniques to help tiny lungs develop and protect fragile skin and organs. Hospitals with extensive experience resuscitating extremely premature babies report survival rates as high as 67% for babies born at 22 weeks.

Did you know apnea is one of the most common diagnoses in the NICU? While it can be scary, it usually resolves as babies mature. For preemies born before 28 weeks, resolution may take longer, but with kangaroo care and developmental support, you can help your baby self-regulate and thrive. Want to learn more about how to manage and prevent apnea in preemies?

🌍 Did you know that premature birth is the leading cause of newborn admissions to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)? Each year, millions of families face the challenges and uncertainties that come with having a premature baby. At 16 Days, we are dedicated to supporting these families through a transformative approach: fostering early bonding between parents and their newborns. Our focus on skin-to-skin contact, also known as kangaroo care, has shown remarkable benefits—not only for emotional connection but also for improved medical outcomes. Research indicates that when parents hold their premature infants close, it can stabilize the baby’s heart rate, support respiratory function, and enhance overall health and development. By encouraging this bonding time, we aim to create a nurturing environment that promotes healing and resilience. Let’s raise awareness about the power of connection during those crucial early days. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of families navigating the NICU journey. 💖 #NICU #PrematureBirth #KangarooCare #Parenting #NewbornHealth #16Days #BetterOutcomes
