The key message of #FiCare is to ensure that parents know this: your presence and participation in the care of your baby is very important. #FiCAreWeek @EdinburghNeo continues #neonates #nicu #nicuBaby #nicuNurse

Tonight, @STVNews will be airing a piece on the Simpson's Neonatal Unit following @EdinburghUni research which concluded that the more breast milk premature babies are fed while in neonatal intensive care, the greater the level of brain development 👶🧠

New paper 1/7
Main result: Preterm infants who receive high versus low exposure to breast milk during NICU have a cerebral cortical structure that more closely resembles the cortical morphology of term infants.

And hats off to the amazing perinatal team delivering on this QI project from Antenatal Care through Labour Ward to NNU and Postnatal #sharedgoals @BAPM_Official

Is anyone out there a lactation consultant specifically in a neonatal unit, or do any neonatal units have such a person in role? If so, care to share your banding and job description please? U.K. only please

What can we learn from the death of the #Queen?
The world has watched her live through the process of #OrdinaryDying, and yet dying went unspoken, un-named.
Let's notice what nobody mentioned: we all saw the Queen going through the stages of ordinary dying.
A 🧵...

EdinburghNeoCare retweeted
What can we learn?
That dying is inevitable, recognisable, describable, and that we can prepare for it. The Queen had clearly planned ahead.
That at the edge of life, we can still enjoy love, and peace, and companions.
That we need to get familiar with dying.

So much to say about Maastrup's poster @JENS_Congress on Danish approach to initiating breastfeeding as soon as preterm baby is stable. 40% of extremely preterm babies started at breast <30 weeks PMA, 60% <32 weeks PMA
