This year’s theme for World Prematurity Day is all about skin-on-skin contact, also known as kangaroo care. When your baby is in the NICU, it is encouraged that parents support their baby by using this method. For more information about kangaroo care: https://t.co/UP4u5YQQAm https://t.co/Ya2tUPWVWd

World Prematurity Day in 2022

World Prematurity Day seeks to raise awareness about premature birth and the complications that can occur. A premature baby is one who is born too early, usually before 37 weeks, which leads to health problems during development including physical and mental disabilities.
