By purchasing the Preterm Birth Awareness Ribbon you will help make the situation of prematurely born children and their families to the best possible.

All parents can not stay with their newborn baby in the hospital. Although research shows that children who are cared for skin-to-skin on their parents around the clock both feel, breathe and grow better - and requires a shorter hospital stay.

It is very important that parents can live with their children, both for the child's welfare and for the parents bonding to the child. This is therefore one of the most important cause for Preterm Parents Associations.

The small foot on the ribbon symbolize the small steps the premature child takes in life. The footprint is a fond memory for many parents. Loved ones who may see the footprint can better understand how small the baby was when it was born.

When you buy Preterm Birth Awareness Ribbon you will help the parent associations for the prematurely born children to keep on with their work to support the affected families. A portion of the surplus goes to these associations and some go for research into preterm births and neonatal diseases.

We parents need something that unites us, an international symbol. Something that promotes knowledge about our beloved preemies and their tough start in life. A symbol that men and women can wear and which is easily visible, and raises questions.

17 November is the International Preterm Awareness Day. November could be a time of increased awareness of our beloved preemies and on our major concerns regarding neonatal care. Carry the ribbon so that it can be seen and tell everyone who wonders what it stands for.

Pins are made of metal and is 2.5 cm. high. On the back is a pin with a so-called butterfly clasp.
