💚 September is NICU Awareness Month 💚

A time to recognise the challenges faced by premature and critically ill babies and their families worldwide, and to honour every clinician working to make it a little easier for them.

One group faces particular difficulties when it comes to monitoring: babies born before 27 weeks of gestation, whose skin is often too fragile for traditional adhesive electrodes.

Together with Amsterdam UMC and Máxima MC, we are running a study on the wireless Bambi Belt in exactly this population of extremely premature babies. A few months in, both hospitals have shared positive feedback on how the belt performs.

🔬 These are early results from an ongoing study, but they point to something we believe in deeply: even the most vulnerable babies deserve monitoring that doesn't add pain or stress to everything else they're already facing.

Before summer hit, the Bambi team grew by two!

Please join us in welcoming:

🔹 Victoria Kokodiy: Operations Manager
🔹 Edwin Bekx: Senior System Engineer

Great to have you both with us on our mission: supporting the smallest and most vulnerable patients through innovative, reliable monitoring solutions.

Welcome aboard! 🎉

Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have uncovered a new clue to one of pregnancy's enduring mysteries: what determines when labor begins? In a study published in Science, the investigators found that a molecule best known for its role in cellular metabolism and aging also helps regulate the timing of labor. The findings offer new insight into the causes of preterm birth and point to a potential new therapeutic target.

Parents know the power of music when it comes to lulling a baby to sleep. But for premature newborns, music therapy can unlock a new kind of healing. As experts explain, the tunes can help babies leave the NICU sooner.

The effects of music therapy are immediate - oxygen levels go up, the heart rate slows and babies even stay in the NICU for shorter periods of time. But the benefits go beyond that.

New research has found signs that may help researchers better understand why some babies are born early. Some signs are present as early as the first trimester. These findings provide biological clues that may help researchers and clinicians better understand early birth, and—in the future—develop improved tools to identify pregnancies at higher risk.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common condition in preterm infants in which the fetal blood vessel connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery does not close normally after birth. The condition can increase the risk of serious illness and mortality, particularly among the smallest preterm infants.

Early administration of paracetamol may accelerate closure of the patent ductus arteriosus in extremely preterm babies, according to a new study.

Today is Kangaroo Care Day 🦘
Skin-to-skin contact is one of the most powerful things a parent can offer their newborn — supporting brain development, reducing stress, and strengthening a bond that lasts a lifetime.
At Bambi Medical, we're proud to support the families and caregivers who make this moment possible every day.

The presence of a parent next to their baby is not only beneficial for bonding but can also positively affect the baby's brain development. For example, a study has found that hearing their mother’s voice promotes the development of language pathways in a premature baby’s brain. This finding offers a potentially transformative way to approach neonatal care to promote better language outcomes in children born prematurely.

Premature babies who heard recordings of their mothers reading to them had more mature white matter in a key language area of the brain, a Stanford Medicine-led study found.

💫 The Golden Hour matters 💫

New clinical research shows that Bambi wireless monitoring can capture newborn heart rate and breathing activity within seconds after birth—without adhesives and without interrupting skin-to-skin contact.

We’re proud that Jeroen Bosch Ziekenhuis participated in this research, contributing to advancing newborn care.

Because the first hour of life deserves both connection and care.
