It was developed in consultation with researchers from Curtin University, Western Australia. Feed Safe is based on up-to-date research and official Australian health recommendations."

WHAT IS MIRACLE BABIES?
Aim:
"To improve, support and enhance all lives impacted by a premature or sick birth.”
Miracle Babies Foundation is Australia’s leading organisation supporting premature and sick newborns, their families and the hospitals that care for them. Every year in Australia around 48,000 newborn babies require the help of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or Special Care Nursery (SCN). 27,000 of these babies are born premature and up to 1,000 babies lose their fight for life. For families, the experience of having a baby come into the world not as expected or planned is life changing. Without support, this overwhelming and traumatic experience can have lifelong effects on the emotional well-being of these miracle families. It affects the entire family unit. Since 2005, Miracle Babies Foundation has been passionate in developing and providing vital programs and resources to support and enhance a family’s experience from a high-risk pregnancy, hospital journey with a premature or sick newborn, the transition to home and beyond. Australia is home to 23 state of the art intensive care units designed to meet the unique and critical needs of our earliest
and sickest babies. Working with health professionals on the joint agenda of better outcomes for families, Miracle Babies also provides informative education and insight on a family’s experience and funding for equipment, resources and research.

TW: Pregnancy & body image

"For centuries, we've been told what the "ideal" body shape is. And during pregnancy, when our bodies change so quickly and visibly, those pressures can feel
even heavier. If you're finding it difficult to accept your body right now, please know you're not alone and this is a common experience.

What matters most is your wellbeing, your mental health, and your sense of self. If this is something you need support with, PANDA and the Butterfly Foundation are here for you" Info from
