A new specially designed twin bed brings comfort and link with families of the neonatal unit of the Royal Glasgow Hospital for children – the pre -emissions to sleep side by side safely.
Keeping close twins can support their development, strengthen their link and offer comfort, not only to babies, but also to families who cannot stay by their side during the night.
But the Co-Sommeil bed also meets the practical requirements of neonatal care. Each side can be adapted to individual needs, with the possibility of placing a heat carpet under a baby for an additional temperature support.
The entire COT can also be slowly tilted to facilitate reflux, which is common in premature babies. These characteristics mean that twins can stay side by side, while receiving personalized care.
The SWNS news agency reported this week that premature twins Macie and Marcus Lee had “no chance” of survival, but now amazed everyone with their remarkable recovery – after being treated in the bed of revolutionary co -endorma.
The couple came to the world at only 29 weeks old and was the first to benefit from the Co-Somme bed at the Scottish Hospital last December.
Their parents Jennifer Prior and Darren Lee were invited to expect the worst to their 20 -week sweeping. They were warned that their babies would be so premature that they would probably be dead.
Little Macie was born weighing 2 pounds and his brother Marcus only 1 lb 3 oz, but they made incredible progress in the neonatal district that they were able to return home after 12 weeks.
“They certainly saved the lives of our babies,” said Jennifer about the hospital staff.
“The fact of saying that the worst would happen, then for the complete opposite, was like a miracle. I will never forget the feeling of thinking that I would not leave without my babies. I was there and night there since the day they were born just hoping that someone would give me a little hope and confirmation that they would survive.
“Someone has definitely heard our prayers and, over time, they are only prospering more and more with very few complications.”
One of the responsible neonatal nurses said Hospital charity“This bed bed was a shiny addition to the unit. It gives us the flexibility to take care of twins in a safe, practical and focused ways on the individual needs of babies.
“It is much easier for families to interact with their babies, which is so important, and it really helps to support the type of personalized care that we strive to give every day.”

Now, the proud great-grandparents Yvonne and Peter Prior are on a fundraising mission to ensure that the neonatal unit can buy more twin beds to help other families in a similar position.
Yvonne, 67, said that she was impressed by her “small miracles”.
“Jennifer had a very difficult pregnancy and he was told to expect the worst at 20 weeks. It was a nightmare and we were all so worried about what was waiting for us.
“She managed to keep until she reached 29 weeks and Macie and Marcus arrived on January 10 of this year.

“From the minute when they were delivered, they both needed specialized care and were the first to use the co-sleep bed.
“The twins continue to strengthen. We couldn’t be more proud. ”
To make something for the incredible care that Macie and Marcus received, Clydebank’s family supports Peter fundraising in June, while he was traveling 106 miles for the Glasgow children’s charity charity Event called Stride The Clyde.
