The legacy of people taken into state care who suffered neglect and abuse is a stain on our country’s history. Over the next three years, the Royal Commission will listen to stories about the experiences of people in state care and examine ways to stop any further abuse.

Before that process can begin, the Terms of Reference to define the scope and purpose of the Inquiry need to be set. Sir Anand would like to hear your views on the draft Terms of Reference so we can work together to make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.

Nano & Micro Premmie Nappies, for the Tiniest Premmie Babies

Sheralee from Te Atatu Peninsula

Each year in New Zealand, over 4,300 babies* are born premature – some too early to be hugged. Premmie babies are so delicate, the only clothing that touches their skin is a nappy. Huggies believes in leaving no baby unhugged, so this inspired us to create our tiniest nappy yet – the Nano … View moreEach year in New Zealand, over 4,300 babies* are born premature – some too early to be hugged. Premmie babies are so delicate, the only clothing that touches their skin is a nappy. Huggies believes in leaving no baby unhugged, so this inspired us to create our tiniest nappy yet – the Nano Premmie Nappy.

Our Nano Premmie nappies are specially designed and developed in partnership with NICU nurses in the US. After extensive research and interviews with medical professionals and neonatal therapists, we have designed a nappy for premature babies under 900 grams, providing the optimal fit for healthy growth development. Our Nano Premmie Nappies allow premmies to grow in comfort while accommodating for medical leads and tubes in the incubator.

Our Nano Premmie Nappy also features specially-sized fasteners and a narrow pad for more flexibility. This allows the baby to comfortably curl into a foetal tuck—the natural and most calming position for babies.

Because these nappies are worn by the most fragile premmies, we produce them with extra care. Our Nano Premmie production is not like every other production we have. We shut down the line in the US and inspect, fold and pack each one by hand. It’s a very slow process, but it’s worth it for these babies.

Our nappy range for premmies. Our Nano and Micro Premmie Nappies are only available to hospitals as they have been developed for the tiniest premmie babies.

Huggies Premmie Nappies can be purchased from Mighty Ape, Nappies Direct and Babies.co.nz. Also, win a lifetime of hugs.
