LifesLittleTreasures

We are an Australian charity supporting families of premature & sick babies.

[LifesLittleTreasures @LifesLittle]

Families of premature and sick babies can spend days, months and sometimes a year caring for their baby/s in hospital. They are often so focused on baby’s care they forget to take care of themselves.

We've loved working with the Women's hospital to bring a little joy to families spending Christmas in hospital

Christmas has come early for some of Melbourne's tiny miracles. Premature babies at the Royal Women's Hospital received a visit from Santa and his elves, spreading joy to families, nurses and doctors. @EmilyRice28 #9News

@TonyKoc69285191 Makes me so sad, running a charity what I could have done with that money. Here we are, everyday, trying to find ways to raise funds, enduring knockback after knockback, when all we need do is ask Mr Dutton!

[CRE in Newborn Medicine @CREnewborn]

An important message from @AliciaSpittle in her talk summarising the early interventional trials underway in the @CREnewborn: “the implications for physical activity go way beyond just motor outcomes for children born preterm.” #cooltopics2019 @thewomens @MCRI_for_kids

Such a privilege to work with such a wonderful team of researchers and clinicians @CREnewborn to improve outcomes for #preterm children

[LifesLittleTreasures @LifesLittle]

We call it liquid gold...this is great to see...the winner bub!
Next step, if we could just get on top of how we communicate to mums how they can do this...Does it matter the way as long as bub is fed. Unnecessary pressure for certain methods still happening.
