Keep your baby away from people with cough and colds.

❗October is RSV Awareness Month — and for families of preemies, awareness can make all the difference.

💙 Because premature babies have more fragile lungs and developing immune systems, RSV can quickly become serious. The good news is, there are ways to help protect them.

☑ Wash your hands thoroughly before touching your baby and ask others to do the same
☑ Don't let anyone smoke in your home or near your preemie
☑ Wash your baby's toys, clothes and bedding often
☑ Keep you baby away from large crowds & people who are sick
☑ Tell others NOT to kiss your baby - even if they are healthy

At Graham’s Foundation, we’re committed to empowering parents with information, support, and resources to keep their little ones safe. Help us raise awareness, encourage prevention, and create a safer world for preemies everywhere.

People understand premature baby's a little better with visuals.
The blue lung represents the lungs of a 30 weeker. (I do not have spec's for other gestations.)

The pink represents the lungs of a 40 week full term baby.

It almost seems as if it is comparing adult lungs to infant lungs, that is how astonishing the difference is.

This growth now needs to take place outside of the womb, along with everything else. It can cause life long issues for these warriors.

Now, knowing that RSV is the #1 reason for hospitalization of a full term infant, can you see why it would be so much more detrimental for a preemie?

The tiny passages get littered with infection. The entire lung becomes consumed by it. It's much harder to get it out of the fragile airways as well.

RSV is very serious, please give preemie families some grace this cold/flu/rsv season. You would not want this on your own child, please do not expect them to put it on theirs.
