Celebrating World Prematurity Day
As the 17th of November is World Prematurity Day (WPD) we wanted to take this opportunity to share some thoughts around why we celebrate WPD and provide information on this year's WPD theme of “A parents embrace: a powerful therapy”, as well as look at how Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) can help preterm infants.
We thank you for your continuous quality care towards all preterm babies and look forward to working together for a brighter future for them

Kind regards,

| Skin-to-skin contact |
This expert article highlights some of the many benefits of skin-to-skin contact for the baby which includes reducing neonatal mortality, less incidence of infection, improved breast feeding, helping to stabilise temperature, reduced stress and crying during painful procedures and many more. It also allows parents experience lower stress levels, greater confidence along with enhanced bonding and attachment1.
Skin-to-skin contact is a powerful therapy for both the infant and the parent.
