NFI/NIDCAP Guidance Around the COVID-19 Pandemic

The NIDCAP Federation International (NFI) holds as a primary goal the support of parents as the optimal caregivers of their infant. Parent presence and active collaboration with their hospitalized infant and the health care team, enhances the infant’s neurodevelopment.1

The NFI acknowledges it is critical to continually reflect on the balance of safety and health concerns with known best practices to support optimal outcomes as communities, healthcare systems, hospital professionals, and families with hospitalized infants navigate COVID-19. The substantial benefits of parental participation in the care of their hospitalized infants, including skin-to-skin holding and breastfeeding,2-6 are increasingly considered to outweigh the potential risks of the transmission of COVID-19.

 It is the NFI’s position based on the research available, that non-separation of parent-infant dyads and parents’ active participation in infant care are essential to mitigate sequelae for hospitalized infants during these critical periods of development.7-9

I recently had a pretty rough experience with a crypto theft scam, and it felt like there was no way out. I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to turn until I found ALPHA RECOVERY EXPERTS. Honestly, they made a real difference. From the first contact, they were professional and understanding, which helped ease a lot of my stress.
They walked me through the entire process step by step, explaining things in a way that was easy to understand. I appreciated that they didn’t just bombard me with technical jargon. Instead, they focused on what I needed to know to feel secure and informed about the recovery process. It was clear they really knew their stuff when it came to crypto scams.
One of the standout moments for me was how responsive they were. Whenever I had questions or concerns, they were quick to get back to me. That level of customer service really made me feel supported. In a situation where everything felt uncertain, having them on my side was incredibly reassuring.
