ADAPT - Supporting families of premature and sick babies.
Having a premature baby can happen to anyone.
For a new mum, leaving your baby behind when you go home from hospital can be devastating.
Parents often live from day to day. One day baby can be making progress. The next they can be really porrly again.
Travelling daily into hospital each day can be a terrible strain on the family - both finacially and emotionally. Relationships between Mum and Dad can become stressed.
Brothers and sisters can really miss out because a sick baby needs so much care.
ADAPT can help
About ADAPT
ADAPT was set up in December 1995 by Rob and Fiona Morris, following the birth of their son Harry the previous year. Harry was born at 29 weeks and despite weighing a promising three pounds, he was a very sick baby with chronic lung disease. He was on the neonatal unit at Leicester Royal Infirmary for nine months before going home on oxygen.
Although the medical care of Harry had been excellent, there were times when Rob and Fiona felt very alone, despite the support of family and friends. Their experiences were not ones they could share with most other parents. It was the contact with parents who were also going through the daily ups and downs of having a baby on the unit, that prompted them to set up ADAPT.
