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 want to say a big thank you to Chief Bweza for the marvelous work he did in my life. My name is Kelli Fain, I live in Kentucky, US. I have been trying to conceive for over 7 years of marriage. I have tried so many means to get pregnant but to no avail. I had to consult Chief Bweza to help me with my problem with recommendations from an old friend who gave me his email bbaantu@gmail.com and I contacted him directly. We had communication and he agreed to help me with fertility herbs which he sent to me. I used the medicine as instructed and within 5 days, I conceived. I took in the very night I slept with my husband and got pregnant with twins. Presently, I am happy in my marriage and I am grateful to Chief Bweza for making me a mother of twin girls. My happiness is here. I will publish this testimony to invite anyone who needs help getting pregnant to contact Chief Bweza too with immediate effect to get effective help. https://nativewitchspells.com/ Text / Call +256793306060 / +256759011277 bbaantu@gmail.com
