The Importance Of Human Warmth For The Premature Baby In Intensive Care – You Are Mom
From the moment the baby grows in its mother’s womb it is fundamental that its physical needs are met for good health, as well as its emotional needs. They are just as important.
Some parents of premature babies wish to have it by their side all the time, but this is not always possible for many reasons. It is possible that the mother has to recover, that the father cannot be present every day, that there are hours of rest during which the parents will not be allowed in the intensive care rooms for premature babies …
Babies should never lack love
The impact of this program has been so great in the hospital that the petitions for volunteers have continued to increase, to the point of creating a huge waiting list of volunteers eager to bring their love and affection to these little angels.
Babies need love from the moment of birth and that is why these volunteers wish to contribute to the evolution of these cherubs.
When is this function even more needed to provide human warmth to premature babies?
Nevertheless, of course you say to yourself: “But where are the parents of these little angels?” Unfortunately there are many situations in which babies cannot rely on their parents, because the mother may be sick or dead, she may also need medical or psychological care, the father may be absent or unknown …
Many and diverse are the situations for which a premature baby in intensive care needs to receive this external human warmth, provided by volunteers.
Babies need human warmth from the moment they are born, especially premature babies. They should have stayed longer in their mother’s womb, which was not possible for various reasons.
This is why hugging them, hugging them and providing them with physical and emotional security and comfort becomes almost vital for them.
In the hospital, it is very clear that premature babies who received this human warmth have better sleep and a better evolution than other babies who were not so lucky and who had to stay for hours in these cold incubators, away from human contact.
Although the ideal is for parents to be able to impart this human warmth, when this is not possible, babies should not be left alone. ..
And these volunteers carry out a great mission in the life of these premature babies. Can you imagine that this could be the case in all hospitals in the world?
