💙This Full-Term February, we’re shining a light on the unique challenges faced by families of full-term babies in neonatal care. Filmed on a busy neonatal ward, this video features Dr. Ngozi Edi-Osagie, NHS England's National Clinical Director for Neonatal Care, discussing why this campaign matters. ❗Did you know that 60% of the 90,000 babies admitted to neonatal units each year are born after 37 weeks? These families often feel unprepared for this journey, and that's why Bliss provides dedicated resources to support them. 👶🏾Did your full-term baby have to spend time in the Neonatal Unit? What three words would you use to sum up your experience? Tell us in the comments 👇🏾 Visit our website or social channels to access tailored advice, share your stories, and help us raise awareness.
