PNSC Premature Neonatal Special Care
pieces of heart or square fabric are given to both parents and babies receiving specialist care at the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) Swapping the fabric regularly can help to get mums, dads and babies used to each other’s scent during the difficult days and weeks when they are unable to hold or cuddle each other. The idea can also help to produce the hormones needed to aid breastfeeding.
When admitted to NICU, Mum wears one square next to her skin and the other one is placed next to baby to transfer their smell on them, they are swapped over regularly.
Baby gets to know mother’s smell and parents get to know their babies smell. The squares also help mum when she expresses milk, as the smell of baby stimulates hormones that are partly responsible for producing breastmilk.
The cloths can be saved and used as wipes for baby later on or the hearts can be kept as a keepsake
