50. Do a “Mission Moment” Ring Imagine a baby so small that this ring would slide over the hand and arm or the foot and leg of a 15-week premature baby. This is a dramatic example of how tiny a preemie really is. Premature Baby Diaper This diaper is one that a premature baby would wear. It is too small for even a beanie baby. Try to imagine the size of a full term baby diaper compared to this preemie diaper. The size difference will surprise you. Watch “Fight for Preemies!”

51. Coffee Stirrer This exercise illustrates how difficult it is for a premature baby with underdeveloped lungs to breathe. Place the coffee stirrer in your mouth, hold your nose and try to breathe only through the tiny opening of the stirrer. Most folks will only be able to breathe this way for about 30 seconds, but imagine having to breathe like this for several months. Spoon Imagine needing a blood transfusion and all the blood you needed could fit into a teaspoon. That is the reality for premature babies. Lifesavers Thanks for being a “lifesaver” for babies. (we will give each person some lifesaver candies)
