EDITOR’S NOTE We l c o m e t o t h e O c t o b e r / N o v e m b e r i s s u e o f P a l m y P a r e n t ! This issue has a theme of our pepi that are born and needing the help of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Every year approximately 10% of all babies are born premature (before 37 weeks gestation) in New Zealand. That’s one premature baby born every 90 minutes. There are also full-term babies whose condition or illness requires admission to a NICU after they are born. In all, over 5,000 babies need help in their start life in New Zealand each year. We also have articles on the new pay it forward reusable cloth nappy group, a practical guide to newborn clothing, the green prescription program and having a baby in lockdown. There are a few more events coming up in November at Parents Centre Seminar Space and in the community so make sure you check out our What’s On Pages so you don’t miss out on registering for your space. Due to having an acting Editor this edition has again been lovingly edited by the entire Palmerston North Parents Team. We are still on the look out for our next Edi tor, so if you’re
interested please do get in touch. As always we are always looking for contributors! If you or anyone you know would like to share your empowering birth (or adoption) story, please get in touch at palmyparenteditor@gmail.com - you don’t need to be a great writer, we can work with you to get your story told.
