15.01.2022 NOVEMBER IS PREMATURITY AWARENESS MONTH and to finish the month we Introduce Lisa & Stephen’s baby girl AVA who was born prematurely at 33weeks Lisa said Little Ava came suddenly at 33+6 weeks via emergency c-section. My waters broke suddenly on a Friday night at 33+4 and I was admitted into hospital for CTG monitoring and was administered steroids and antiobiotics. After two days little Avas CTG reading wasn’t looking too good and Tilak decided to get me in for surgery... that’s when we finally got to meet our little blessing Ava at 12.50am on the 12th of October (6 weeks early). She spent 3 weeks in the special care nursery at Northpark Private and was the smallest and most talked about amongst all the midwives. She was very well cared for and I appreciate all the nurturing and care they provided to Ava. She’s a little darling. Her older brother David adores her and she just fills our heart with so much joy See more

We got married, he joined the Navy and i went to nursing school. 5 kiddos later- he retired from the Navy and went to work as a Postal Clerk while I went to Law School.... Our nest was emptying, so we started fostering After 9 long term placements and 6 years, we came across a sibling set of SEVEN who needed a home They've given us a second chance at parenting, we've given them a second Mom and Dad. They are our Second Chance 7 @second.chance.7

02.01.2022 SKIN TO SKIN CONTACT A very precious moment between a father and baby. Skin-to-skin contact promotes beneficial physiological conditions in preterm infants such as increased quiet sleep state, and more stable thermoregulation, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. While premature babies often need state-of-the-art medical care in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), there’s one special, simple service that only parents can provide: Kangaroo care, or skin-to-...skin contact. This low-tech intervention was developed in South America as an inexpensive, practical alternative to incubator care and it offers astoundingly positive effects that boost the health of your preemie baby. It’s a gentle, proven method to make your baby feel more secure and help you to bond. In fact it’s so effective, frequent skin-to-skin contact is often recommended for full-term infants, too. The Benefits of Kangaroo Care Kangaroo care is powerful medicine! Your heartbeat, scent and the rhythm of your voice and breathing are all comforting to your baby. When your baby feels your skin on hers, her brain releases oxytocin (also known as the love hormone), which, in turn, helps stabilize her cardiovascular system, reduces stress and makes her feel more calm and safe. A recent interesting study found that skin-to-skin care increased oxytocin not only in mothers but fathers and infants, as well. Kangaroo care has been shown to help your little one: * Regulate her body temperature (preemies need help maintaining body heat because they have little body fat) * Feel less pain and stress during medical procedures, such as blood draws * Gain weight * Succeed at breastfeeding * Sleep more soundly * Cry less frequently * Regulate heartbeat and breathing, as her body adjusts to match yours * Avoid infections * Leave the NICU sooner One study of 10-year-olds who had received kangaroo care as infants found that they had better thinking skills and sleep habits and dealt better with stress versus kids who did not receive skin-to-skin care in infancy.
