Happy World Prematurity Day from the tiniest baby who, at age 12, is now taller than his mama and calls her Bruh. #NICU #WorldPrematurityDay #StrongStartHopefulFuture

Part of the difficulty is when you have no point of reference. No one you know whoโ€™s been through the same.

If this is something youโ€™re going through (or have been through recently) and want to talk about it, my DMs are open.

One thing Iโ€™ll remember for a long time is when a lm obstetrician sat my wife and I down in a hallway and told us that we had to โ€œget used to the idea that youโ€™re going to have a premature babyโ€.

It can be rough (born at 30 weeks), but we have been incredibly lucky.

Every year on November 17, the world unites to raise awareness about premature births โ€” a global challenge affecting 1 in 10 newborns. Prematurity is the leading cause of death in children under five, but with the right care and support, preterm babies can thrive.

This yearโ€™s theme, โ€œGive preterm babies a strong start for a hopeful futureโ€, calls for immediate action to improve health outcomes for these vulnerable infants. From regular prenatal checkups to skin-to-skin care, every step counts.

Letโ€™s support families, spread awareness, and advocate for quality care everywhere.

Itโ€™s #WorldPrematurityDay Every year, 15 million babies are born too soon. Too small. Too early. And far too vulnerable to life-threatening complications. But with the right care, most preterm and low birth weight babies survive. They can go on to thrive and lead wonderful lives bit.ly/43NzUH8
