		<title>You Can Breastfeed Your Premature Baby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Breastfeeding a premature baby may seem like a mountain to navigate right now, but it is possible, and the very best thing you can do for your baby.
Why Mother&#8217;s Milk
Mother&#8217;s milk is liquid gold for babies, especially preemies. If your baby was premature your body is making milk specifically designed for her. Research shows that pre-term milk is higher in:
- Calories
- Fats
- Proteins
- White blood cells
- Immunoglobulins
- Zinc
- Calcium
- Phosphorus
These nutrients are exactly what your baby needs more of!
Science says breastfed preemies:
- Become smarter kids
- See better
- Have less infection

		<title>Prematurity and journalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The media loves a “good news” story, as a result the bias within the journalism is to present stories absent of proper fact. In the case of premmies represented in the media, even with the best intentions of the parents, we’re often told that even micro prems suffer little ill effect or few long term issues as a result of prematurity. These statements give the general public a false picture of prematurity and furthers the “Oh they’re just a little early and a little small” mentality.

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Brisbane Premmies new “Three questions” series. These will be a series of short interviews conduction with three women who have experiences with certain aspects of prematurity.
When where you first diagnosed with PE?
Kyla Officially–probably the day I was admitted to hospital on the 14th May, 2007. At about 24 weeks I was concerned about lack of movement/kicks with bubs. I told my DH my concerns when I couldn’t handle the stress myself anymore (he was having terrible stress problems at work and was put on stress leave). He rang ...]]></description>

		<title>Pre-eclampsia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Australian Action on Pre-eclampsia’s key goal is to provide support and raise public awareness of this potentially life threatening pregnancy condition. AAPEC was founded in 1993 by two mothers grieving the death of their babies due to Pre-eclampsia and is run entirely by volunteers, all whom have suffered from the condition themselves.
What you need to know and stay aware of whilst pregnant or planning to be;
Who is at risk?

 This is your first pregnancy

		<title>Interview with Julia Toivonen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Julia Toivonen, the owner of Australia’s premier online support group for the parents of premature infants, speaks to us today on Brisbane Premmies about her journey through the birth of her first son Ronan and the creation of her website.
Ronan was born at 27 weeks gestation, where you given a reason for his early arrival?
At the time it was “one of those things”. We believed that i had gone into spontaneous labour which resulted in my membranes rupturing. Through the pregnancy with my 2nd son Tristan last year they came ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many premmie parents have concerns about their child’s development, we are no exception.

Ultimately, often the best you can do is to help your child learn through play. Watch them enjoying games and toys that are within their ability level and encourage them to try new things. The following is a list of activities and games to help encourage development at a 9 – ...]]></description>

		<title>And we&#039;re back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This entry originally appeared on my personal blog on June 13 2008. It is the fourth in a series of posts detailing our journey with eating problems and tube feeding.
Fresh from a six day hospital admission I’m starting to think that there is no such thing as a “good” doctor. They all seem to have their own agenda and often don’t take their patients or their patients parents into account when they make their decision. Getting answers this week has been like pulling teeth…from a creature that doesn’t have any.
