"You cannot have a thriving baby when the mother is drowning," says Miriam from Kenya. An estimated 13.4 million babies were Born Too Soon in 2020, with nearly 1 million dying from related complications. This means around 1 in 10 babies are born early (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) worldwide. | World Health Organization (WHO)

This baby was born 3 and a half months early, weighing just 1 pound and 1 ounce and given a 50% chance of survival. | Real Families

Jump into Tuesday with TinyStart! 💛💜 Being born too soon, too small, or too sick can impact a baby’s gross motor development—but that’s where our TinyStart programme comes in! From bouncing to nursery rhymes as babies to handheld leaps at one and mastering those two-footed jumps as toddlers (especially into muddy puddles! 😉), we support every step of the journey. TinyStarter Gaja has been working hard and can now jump with two feet to a favourite song—amazing job, Gaja! 👏 #JumpForJoy #TinySt

It’s World Prematurity Day 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. Let’s give every baby the best start in life – for healthier, hopeful futures. | World Health Organization (WHO)
