Neonatal care. Mother and nurse preparing to bathe a swaddled premature newborn baby as part of a programme of care for neonates (newborn babies). Bathing newborn babies while wrapped up provides the baby's need to feel enveloped and safe. They are following recommendations from NIDCAP (Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program). The nurse is part of the neonatology service of the children's hospital at the CHU (centre hospitalier universitaire) de Toulouse, Toulouse, France.
