🧬Genomic study helps detect baby’s rare growth condition

Doctors at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are “thrilled” by a baby’s positive response to treatment after her rare genetic condition was diagnosed following results from a national screening study.

"With the help of the Generation Study we have a clear genetic diagnosis for Safi. It has made it much easier for us to identify the right treatment and to get her started on it sooner. If all goes well, her life should be unaffected by her condition." said Dr Emile Hendriks, Consultant Paediatric Endocrinologist at CUH.

Children admitted to a NICU as newborns are more than twice as likely to struggle with their school readiness assessment at age five and these early hurdles can affect them well into adulthood.

A new study at the Rosie and two other hospitals in the region aims to understand which children may face challenges and explore ways to better support them and their families. It's led by University of Cambridge

Please remember some important safety advice for your newborn whilst you are in hospital:

➡Ensure your baby is in the cot when moving around the ward – this reduces any risk of trips and falls.

➡If you or your partner are tired, there is an increased risk of falling asleep with your baby in your arms. It is essential baby is placed in the cot at these times. Please alert your midwife if you require support with this.

➡You are at increased risk of falling asleep holding baby whilst you are feeding or when taking medications that may make you more drowsy. Your midwife can advise on medication side effects.

➡Leaving your curtains open in these instances will allow the midwives to keep a closer eye on both you and baby.

➡Please ensure nappy changing is done safely in the cot and not on a table or chair.

Thank you for helping us to help you to keep your baby safe.
