Where has the time gone! My little human is two months old! . . . He now weighs 4 lbs and 14 oz! He takes 44 ml (~1.5 oz), has eaten between 20-40% of his feedings by mouth. Latches like a pro. And loves to poop in the middle of changing his diapers, not just one but twice usually! . . . Yesterday he got his two-month immunizations, and he handled it like a champ! I shed a fear tears because I hate seeing him cry. However, I am so proud of my little man. . . . #nicustrong #preemiestrong #preemie #nicubaby #nicu #update #wls #vsg #wlscommunity #wlsjourney #babyboy #baby #babyboy💙 #babiesofinstagram #kangaroocare #skintoskin #babyluca #neonatal #postpartum #35weeks #nicujourney #twomonthsold #breastfeeding #pumpingmom #pumpingmama #munchkin #milkmaker #showherlove #lucaa415 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBeG3ppBzxQ/?igshid=lkjj0zbipsk0

2 years ago, my favorite St Patrick's Day of all time . The very first time I got to hold out strong little irish lass at 13 days old. She had ever wire possible connected to her , and a drain going from her intestines poking it the side of her body from her first surgery at a week old. I wasn't supposed to hold her yet because she was still so sick and unstable but they had to change her bed anyway so they decided to let me . We were told after he fact that our long hours of kangaroo care is the only reasoning they can think of how she survived everything . To this day this is still her most favorite place to sleep and snuggle . #kangaroocare #bestdayever #happystpatricksday #strongirishlass #willowharpernoland #22weeker #22weekpreemieawareness #22weekpreemie #nchnicu

The Magic of Skin-to-Skin Contact with Your Newborn 🤱💞

Skin-to-skin contact, also known as kangaroo care, is one of the most powerful ways to bond with your newborn. This simple practice offers numerous benefits for both baby and parents.

1. Boosts Bonding

Holding your baby skin-to-skin helps create a strong emotional connection and fosters feelings of love and security. The close physical contact helps your baby feel safe and comforted, which is essential for their emotional development.

2. Regulates Temperature

Your body acts like a natural incubator, helping to regulate your baby’s temperature. When your newborn is placed on your chest, your body heat keeps them warm, ensuring they stay at a comfortable and safe temperature.

3. Stabilizes Heart Rate and Breathing

Babies held skin-to-skin often have more stable heart rates and breathing patterns. The rhythmic sound of your heartbeat and the rise and fall of your chest provide a calming and familiar environment, helping to stabilize your baby's vital signs.

4. Promotes Breastfeeding

Skin-to-skin contact can stimulate milk production and make breastfeeding easier for both mom and baby. The close proximity encourages your baby to latch on and nurse effectively, supporting successful breastfeeding from the start.

5. Reduces Stress

Skin-to-skin contact reduces levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, in both you and your baby, promoting relaxation and calmness. This reduction in stress is beneficial for your baby's overall well-being and can help you feel more relaxed and connected as well.

6. Improves Sleep

Babies tend to sleep better and longer when held skin-to-skin, which can help their overall development. The warmth and comfort of being close to you can lead to deeper and more restful sleep, aiding in your baby's growth and brain development.

Embrace these moments of closeness and enjoy the incredible benefits that skin-to-skin contact brings to you and your little one. Each moment spent skin-to-skin helps to build a strong foundation for your baby's physical and emotional health.

Today is World Prematurity Day. Today is about increasing awareness of prematurity. Today we stand united around the world. This year's focus is on the introduction of skin to skin immediately after birth. The message to be conveyed is " A parents embrace is a powerful therapy"  In IPB we have been massive advocates of  skin to skin care since 2009. Research has documented its powerful effects on preterm babies and parents. The WHO is pushing the message today across the globe.  Preterm babies and parents both thrive with skin to skin care. #worldprematurityday #worldprematurityday2022 #Ireland #skintoskin #kangaroocare #preterm #neonatolgy #pretermbirth #prematurity #prematurityawareness #neonatal #nicu #nicunurses #nicuparents (at Ireland (country)) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClD40tgqmKH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
