Did you know preemie babies DO feel pain, and they may actually experience it more intensely than full-term babies, because their inhibitory pain pathways are immature.

So keep that in mind always as you care for those little ones.

Love this story. I still remember having a sad situation like this with twins, and mom did not make it. Talking to the father was one of the hardest things I had ever done. Great miracle

The benefits are there for all... babies breathe better, and we all survive longer. What's not to love? ❤️

The first 1000 days are critical for brain development, with 80% of brain growth occurring in this period. The next 1000 days further shape emotional and social growth. Targeted interventions in these phases improve IQ, health outcomes, and economic productivity.
