Good evening Lactnetters,

I am preparing a talk and I turn to you for some resources, links, articles, whatever you have:

 Where can I find global information/stats on prematurity rates:
1. country
2. birth weight/gestational age
3. length of hospital stay
4. mortality rate
5. NEC rate
6. breastfeeding rate
7. donor milk use

I imagine/hope WHO or some other international body has at least some of these numbers, if someone can point me to a couple of links or references, I would be most appreciative.

I am also looking for some protocols, programs, information on involvement of parents on the NICU care team,and programs for involvement of older siblings in NICU.

Please reply to my personal email ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>)

Thank you all,

Naomi
