Premature birth: hectic daily life?

Prematurity, a reality to be better understood

In France, each year, some 60 children are born prematurely … So many exceptional births, in which the nursing staff play a fundamental, crucial role. Present on a daily basis to reassure parents, these benevolent actors in neonatal care services must do everything possible to take care of small babies, but also to listen and to teach in the face of worried, preoccupied, and often adults. poorly prepared (or even very poorly informed) in the face of such a situation.

Anxious to provide them with all the necessary support, they are true references in terms of “good gestures” to adopt for the toilet of these babies so vulnerable. For them, but also for parents, WaterWipes provides invaluable help …

WaterWipes, the partner for changing premature babies.

Often confused by prematurity, the parents of infants do not feel like becoming a mother or father until far from the care units and only after having themselves changed their child …

Sweet words, tender gestures, delicate manipulations and above all a choice of products adapted to skin that is sometimes still translucent and immature: it is in this new daily life that WaterWipes find their place!

Considered to be the purest in the world, and recommended by AFPRAL (French Association for the Prevention of Allergies), these safe bets contain only two ingredients: 99,9% purified water and a drop of extract of fruit.

On their scale, and thanks to a composition perfectly suited to the most vulnerable skins, they accompany parents and support them in their daily life. Delicate, they preserve the sensitive, fragile and sometimes even poorly developed skin barrier of toddlers and are even capable of reducing, by more than half, the duration of severe diaper rash (often very common) in premature babies * … Now made from 100% vegetable and compostable fibers, they gently care for babies’ skin and also limit their impact on the environment.
