We've all heard the adage a picture is worth a thousand words, we feel like this photo may be worth a few million! After spending 101 days in the NICU, our team found it only appropriate to give precious baby Asaiah a 101 Dalmatian send-off. Best wishes for a happy and healthy first year at home with your family!
What a blessing for this family to be able to take Asaiah home! Such a creative send off. 🥰
This month, we’re celebrating the parents across the country who trust Baby-Friendly facilities’ NICUs to care for their babies, and the talented, tireless NICU professionals whose expertise saves lives. Did you know? NICUs in Baby-Friendly designated facilities take extra steps to protect the lives and wellbeing of the babies they care for: ✅Every mother of a baby admitted to a Baby-Friendly NICU is offered the resources and support to pump within six hours of her baby’s birth. ✅While formula is available for babies who need it, formula advertising is not found in Baby-Friendly NICUs, so parents can focus on making evidence-informed choices free from marketing pressures. #ProudToBeBabyFriendly #HospitalsMakingADifference #QualityMaternalAndNewbornCare #NICUAwarenessMonth
Crafting a nurturing environment at home is paramount for your baby's growth post-NICU. Tailoring the environment to suit your baby’s unique needs provides a safe and comforting space where they can thrive. Prioritize creating a serene sleeping area, investing in a reliable baby monitor, and eliminating potential hazards. While some equipment may not be necessary unless prescribed, ensure your home is safe and conducive to your baby's needs. Consider reaching out to organizations like the March of Dimes or the National Association of Neonatal Nurses for guidance on creating a safe sleep environment. By creating a haven that prioritizes your baby's well-being, you set the stage for a smooth transition and enriching development at home.

Heimlich Maneuver For Infants And Children Two days ago I talked about the Heimlich Maneuver as a game changer in case of Choking and focused on the steps for an adult. If you haven't seen it yet you can check it out. Today let's Look at the steps involved if the victim is a child or an infant. it's important to note that choking is more prevalent in Children and older people. For Infants under the age of one, the Heimlich maneuver is modified to be more gentle due to their fragile bodies. THE STEPS INVOLVED ARE: 💥 Sit down and lay the infant face down on your forearm, with their head lower than their chest. 💥 Support the infant's head and jaw with your hand, ensuring their airway is clear. 💥 Give up to five quick, firm slaps between the infant's shoulder blades using the heel of your hand. 💥 If the object doesn't dislodge, turn the infant over, facing upward, and using two fingers, give up to five quick chest thrusts just below the nipple line. 💥 Repeat these steps until the object is expelled or until medical help arrives. It's important to be trained in infant CPR and the Heimlich maneuver to perform it correctly and safely. For children Older than one year of age the Heimlich maneuver is similar to that for adults but with some modifications due to their smaller size. STEPS FOR A CHILD OVER ONE INCLUDE: 💥 Stand or kneel behind the child, Wrapping your arms around their waist. 💥 Make a fist with one hand, placing it just above the child's navel. 💥 Grasp the fist with your other hand. 💥 Give quick, upward thrusts until the object is dislodged. It's important to use caution when performing the maneuver to prevent injuries to internal organs. Happy New Month Safety tribe welcome to the fifth month and second quarter of 2024.

Let's be real. The eye exam can be a difficult thing to watch as parents and our babies don't love it either! Preemies’ eyes need to be watched carefully and monitored during their NICU journey. Here's what's you can expect: Your baby’s eyes are dilated with eye drops and the doctor examines their retinas with a special instrument. A speculum is used to keep your baby’s eye wide open for the exam. Want to know more about why the eye tests are important?
