The Life-Changing Power of the LifeStart™: A Breakthrough for Newborns’ Wellbeing

The first few minutes of life are critical for every newborn, but for premature and vulnerable infants, these moments can mean the difference between thriving and struggling. LifeStart™, an innovative neonatal solution, is designed to support these crucial early moments. More than just a piece of hospital equipment, it is a platform that enables modern neonatal care, helping to facilitate important bedside cuddles.

Bedside Cuddles: Bonding that Makes a Difference
LifeStart™ goes beyond clinical intervention by facilitating immediate skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby. When a baby is born prematurely or requires extra care, they are often taken away from their parents, interrupting the natural bonding process. With LifeStart™, bedside cuddles remain possible, even during essential medical interventions.

The benefits of early skin-to-skin contact, also known as “kangaroo care,” are well-documented*. These cuddles help regulate the baby’s heart rate, breathing, and temperature, and even support blood sugar stability. More importantly, immediate bonding promotes both emotional and physical health for the mother and baby. Studies show that babies who experience early skin-to-skin contact have better breastfeeding success rates and form stronger emotional connections with their parents.
