It’s incredible how tiny some premature babies are, weighing in at just grams instead of kilos, fighting for every breath while their terrified parents watch on. Their first newborn outfit swims on them – not that they could wear it in the first place, given the number of monitors and tubes they are connected to.
Even the smallest available nappy almost covers their entire, fragile bodies.
In Australia approximately 1 in every 10 babies is born prematurely, which means they are born before 37 weeks gestation, according to the Miracle Babies Foundation.

Most nappy ranges come in “premmie” but are too large for many of the 15 million preterm babies being born around the world each year. But now, Huggies has launched a new product, a teeny tiny nappy designed for babies weighing less than 900 grams.
They are called The Little Snuggler Nano Preemie and not only are they small, they are also designed to be gentle on a premature baby’s paper-thin skin.
The new nappy is part of Huggies “No Baby Unhugged” campaign, which promises to ensure babies get the hugs they need to thrive.

Sorry huggies but you are too late! We have had "bitty boys" over here for a while now, filling exactly that void in the market. Guess you didn't act THAT quickly!
