Baby Christabel was born at 7months, which was 2 months before maturity. Upon evaluation - she was diagnosed as a severely preterm premature baby. At birth she weighed around 1 kg and had to nursed as a preterm baby in an incubator for almost 4 weeks to enable her mature. On admission, she was facing several preterm complications and immediate Neonatal ICU care was initiated to save her life. She was seen by neonatal specialist, had multiple investigations, and medications. Upon improvement clinically, with weight gain, able to feed, amongst other parameter, she was discharged home with the parents as she can then survive outside of the incubator environment. The parents were so glad and grateful of Helpster's intervention as the cost of daily NICU care was too high for them to afford.

Good prognosis if the baby stays in the incubator until her weight reaches 1.5 kg. Will not survive without the incubator.
