Caring for premature infants

This book explores the delicate balance between advanced medical intervention and the natural process of nurturing through breastfeeding. The book examines how neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) can support and promote breastfeeding among mothers of premature infants, highlighting evidence-based practices, challenges in milk expression, skin-to-skin contact, and the role of healthcare professionals. It emphasizes the physical and emotional benefits of breast milk for preterm babies and the importance of integrating maternal care into NICU protocols to improve outcomes for both infant and mother.
