NIDCAP Federation International The NIDCAP Federation International (NFI) promotes the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP).

Newborn Individualized Developmental Care & Assessment Program (NIDCAP)
~Mentoring Caregivers
~Changing Hospitals
~Improving the Futures for Newborns and Their Families. NIDCAP is the most comprehensive, evidence-based model of developmentally supportive care and assessment for preterm and fullterm newborns and their families in the hospital, and the transition home. Challenge and Opportunity
Research has documented the beneficial effect of NIDCAP in terms of shorter intensive care and overall hospital stay, better weight gain and improved behavioral outcomes that endure beyond infancy. Studies have also documented that the NIDCAP approach enhances brain structure and function when measured by sophisticated medical techniques such as EEG and MRI. Challenge and Opportunity

The incidence of preterm birth, worldwide, is rapidly increasing. In the US, the incidence of prematurity currently stands at 12.7%. Over 25% of all preterm infants are also born too small for their gestational age. These infants present immediate and significant challenges to their parents and to their caregivers in Newborn Intensive Care Units. They are hypersensitive, difficult to feed, and difficult to calm. More than 50% will go on to develop learning and emotional disabilities, requiring special education and mental health services. The challenge is even greater in developing countries.

💜 Give preterm babies a strong start for a brighter future.
Every year, millions of tiny lives begin too soon. Prematurity may shape their first moments, but it must never define their future. This World Prematurity Day, we raise our voices for early interventions, family-centered care, and equal access to health services - so that every preterm baby has the chance not only to survive, but to thrive.🌟
Giving preterm babies the best possible start in life is not only a moral responsibility - it’s a smart investment in healthier, stronger societies. Together, let’s build brighter futures for children and families everywhere.🌍✨
