Pampers, a Procter & Gamble brand of diapers and wipes for babies, has partnered with Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) nurses, to design and introduce the new Pampers Preemie Swaddlers Size P-3 diaper, three sizes smaller than newborn diapers for premature babies born in the second trimester and weighing as little as 1 pound (500 grams).

Pampers diapers are specially designed with blankie-like softness and gentle flex cuffs to improve comfort for each baby and help support skin-to-skin care in the NICU. All Pampers Swaddlers diapers also have the unique Absorb Away Liner that pulls away wetness and runny mess (a common side effect of babies on antibiotics) from baby's skin. The new Pampers allow for all-over fastening and are equally absorbent in the front and back, providing nurses with the flexibility to change and position the diaper to accommodate for medical leads, lines and other interventions. This means nurses no longer need to cut or fold larger diapers to find the right fit for the smallest of babies.

New Pampers Preemie Swaddlers Size P-3 diapers are designed to minimise disruption to help with sleep, positioning, and medical care for premature infants. They feature a contoured narrow core to help with developmentally optimal hip positioning.

The new Size P-3 diaper represents three years and more than 10,000 hours of research by Pampers product development and consumer research teams, including in-depth research with over 100 NICU nurses. (GK)
