En el Día Mundial de las Enfermedades Raras, en Neocare levantamos nuestras manos en apoyo a los niños y familias que viven con una condición poco frecuente.

Las enfermedades raras pueden ser poco comunes, pero el amor, la fortaleza y la resiliencia de quienes las enfrentan son inmensos.

Hoy representamos esta causa con manitas pintadas, porque detrás de cada color hay un niño, una familia y una historia que merece visibilidad, comprensión y acompañamiento.

🤝 Promovamos la empatía.
🎗️ Impulsemos el diagnóstico oportuno.
💜 Construyamos una comunidad más informada y solidaria.

Porque aunque sean raras, su lucha no debe ser invisible.

En Neocare promovemos hábitos que fortalecen el aprendizaje y el bienestar infantil.

El uso excesivo de pantallas puede afectar la concentración, el sueño y el rendimiento escolar de niñas y niños.

📱 Señales de alerta:
• Muchas horas sin supervisión
• Priorizar dispositivos sobre tareas o descanso
• Irritabilidad sin acceso a pantallas

💡 Recomendaciones:
✔️ Establecer límites de tiempo y contenido
✔️ Fomentar actividades fuera de pantalla
✔️ Evitar dispositivos al menos 1 hora antes de dormir

Pequeños cambios hoy, grandes beneficios en su desarrollo.

Mañana, en el Día Mundial de las Enfermedades Raras 2026, la Asociación Española de Pediatría, desde su Comité de Enfermedades Raras y Sin Diagnóstico nos recuerda una realidad que viven miles de familias en nuestro país.

Existen más de 7.000 enfermedades raras, la mayoría de origen genético, y hasta un 75 % se inician en la infancia. Por eso, la Pediatría juega un papel esencial: detectar, coordinar y acompañar a as familias.

La llamada odisea diagnóstica sigue siendo uno de los mayores retos. Un diagnóstico precoz y un acceso equitativo al diagnóstico genético y a tecnologías de secuenciación masiva son clave para acortar este camino.

El cribado neonatal, que os sonará más como la "prueba del talón" que hicieron a vuestros hijos en el hospital y las terapias avanzadas están transformando la vida de muchos niños, pero solo si el diagnóstico llega a tiempo. No se puede tratar lo que no se identifica.

Nuestro compromiso es claro: trabajar para que los avances científicos lleguen a todas las familias y se traduzcan en oportunidades reales de futuro.

Hoy conmemoramos el Día Internacional del Implante Coclear, una fecha para crear conciencia sobre la importancia de la detección temprana de la pérdida auditiva y el acceso a tratamientos que transforman vidas.

El implante coclear es una alternativa segura y eficaz para personas con pérdida auditiva severa o profunda, permitiéndoles desarrollar el lenguaje, comunicarse y mejorar su calidad de vida.

En Neocare promovemos la evaluación oportuna, el acompañamiento especializado y la intervención temprana como pilares fundamentales para el desarrollo integral de cada niño.

A new study published in January suggests that longer breastfeeding during infancy may delay the onset and progression of Multiple Sclerosis.

Researchers found that adults with MS who were breastfed for more than six months experienced milder disease than those breastfed for shorter periods, with every additional two months of breastfeeding associated with significantly lower disability.

Although the findings are promising, researchers emphasize that more studies are needed to confirm these results.

A link to the study will be in the comments.

💬 Word of the Week: Neonatal Resuscitation

Neonatal resuscitation is the immediate medical support given to a newborn who has trouble breathing or maintaining a stable heart rate right after birth. 👶💓

While many babies begin breathing on their own within seconds, some – especially those born preterm or sick – may need extra help. As their lungs and other organs are still developing, they are more vulnerable to low oxygen levels than healthy, full-term babies.

🚨 Why might neonatal resuscitation be needed?
One reason can be birth asphyxia, which occurs when a baby experiences a significant or prolonged lack of oxygen during birth. Quick medical support can be lifesaving and helps reduce the risk of serious complications.

Breathing support may also be needed in cases of:
🔹 Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), which is common in preterm babies due to a lack of surfactant (a substance that helps keep the lungs open)
🔹 Apnea (pauses in breathing)
🔹 Infections
🔹 Seizures
🔹 Low blood sugar

💡 What does resuscitation involve?
Neonatal resuscitation can include important yet simple steps, such as drying and stimulating the baby, providing extra oxygen, or helping the baby breathe with a mask and ventilation device. In some cases, more advanced medical care is required.

💙 Making sense of those first moments
Seeing your baby need resuscitation can feel overwhelming. The good news is that medical teams are highly trained and prepared for these situations. Advances in neonatal care and resuscitation techniques over the past decades have significantly reduced newborn deaths and improved outcomes for many babies. ✨

If your baby required resuscitation, you can always ask your care team to explain what exactly happened. Understanding the situation can help you process the experience. 🌿

What are some helpful touches for your baby?

In the NICU, gentle touch helps your baby feel calm, connected, and supported. Here are two beautiful ways to bond:



🤍 Hand-hugging

Place one hand on your baby’s head and the other around their bottom. This steady, grounding touch helps your baby feel safe and comforted.



🤍 Modified kangaroo care

With the incubator top removed, parents can lean in and gently encircle their baby. Even brief moments like this help strengthen closeness and connection.



Every touch big or small, it makes a difference for your baby.

Life of a NICU Mom

She learns a new language
made of numbers and alarms,
of oxygen sats and heart rates,
of whispers spoken over tiny arms.

She measures time in moments—
not days, not weeks, not years—
but in grams gained overnight
and victories carved from fears.

Her lullabies are different,
they hum through plastic walls,
to the rhythm of machines
and the echo of monitor calls.

She celebrates the smallest things—
a breath without a fight,
a feed that stays, a steady line,
a peaceful stretch of night.

Her hands, once free and certain,
now pause before they touch,
learning how to mother
in a world that asks so much.

She knows the weight of waiting,
of hope tied to a chart,
of loving someone fiercely
while guarding her own heart.

She smiles through quiet heartbreak,
through questions left unspoken,
finding strength she never knew
in places once thought broken.

And though the road is fragile,
uncertain, steep, and long,
she stands beside her miracle—
unyielding, brave, and strong.

For a NICU mom is forged in fire,
in courage deep and true…
and every single heartbeat
is a promise she holds onto.
