On Monday (17 November) mums, dads, babies and children joined staff from our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to mark World Prematurity Day.
The day is aimed at raising awareness of babies who are born too soon. To mark the day, staff from the unit held a special cake sale and invited parents, who have previously been on the unit, and their babies, to join them for the celebrations...
Derriford Hosptial's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is looking for volunteers to help them make more ‘snugglies’ to keep up with the high demand.
Every baby cared for on our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for more than 24 hours receives a packet of snugglies, which are little muslin squares that are knotted in one corner, one for the mum and one for the baby.
