When Neonatal baby, Sophina, was born prematurely, weighing just 730 grams, she had to stay in intensive care and needed additional care from specialist neonatal teams. To support her mum Antonia to continue that care at home, colleagues helped train the new mum in feeding tube management, which meant Sophina was able to go home quicker.
