Small Baby Series
The Small Baby Series are 27 short teaching videos demonstrate life-saving practices such as how to keep premature babies warm with skin-to-skin care, and how to feed them with a cup or feeding tube before they’re strong enough to breastfeed. The series also includes five videos designed specifically for mothers to demystify the needs of premature infants and help them care for their babies both in the hospital and at home.
The series was filmed in Bangladesh, Uganda, and Nepal. Working in partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), we developed the content to complement their Essential Care for Small Babies training program based on the latest WHO guidelines. Newborn experts from AAP and WHO reviewed the videos to ensure they demonstrate international best practices.
