«The idea of donating breastfeeding chairs was born in agreement with the doctor Mariantonia Cossu (responsible for Neonatology and Neonatal Intensive Care ed), because we thought about the well-being of the mother and the newborn baby,” he said Paolo Spinapresident of the association Club 4×4 Experience Sardinia. «With the over 4000 euros donated, we purchased 5 armchairs and they were positioned in the neonatal intensive care room so that the mother can have a direct relationship with the little one from the first moments of life. We are happy and I think we have fully achieved our objective.”
«Breastfeeding chairs are a precious tool in neonatal intensive care – she explains Doctor Cossu – because they allow both breastfeeding and breastfeeding kangaroo mother care (Kmc) both comparable to a well-established therapy.”
There kangaroo mother carea practice strongly supported by the World Health Organization, is also known as pouch therapy or kangaroo therapy and allows the baby to experience more intimate contact with his mother. A contact that, in some way, reminds him of the intrauterine experience.
«Prolonged skin-to-skin contact, the sound of the parents’ voice determine a greater stability of all the parameters but above all all the positive stimuli that are provided influence the neurological development of the newborn. Breastfeeding, Kmc, pain prevention and parental care play a very important role in neuroprotection mechanisms. Our newborns thank everyone who contributed to this beautiful gift”, concludes the Doctor Cossu.
The donation procedure was handled by the General Affairs service of the hospital.
