2022 • Developmental Observer • 5 The world being in a pandemic has made us re-think the way we do things and has challenged us about what is normal. One thing for certain is that the NIDCAP community has gone to great lengths in meeting the challenges and we hear of new innovations to the NIDCAP Training. An example is the training occurring in Rwanda and in this issue, Patrick Manibaho tells us about their efforts with NIDCAP Training by distance. We learn about Björn Westrup and his brilliant work over several decades, Sylvie Mingy enlightens us on the achievements of the French NIDCAP Training Center in Brest. With such inspirational people, the NFI can be proud of its members. The science and art of feeding newborns is explained by Erin Ross and Marjorie Palmer, in addition Brenda Tarka provides a way of helping babies feed. Finally, we are taken on a parents journey of the highs and lows of intensive care in Japan. It is important for all health care professionals to learn from and about cultural practices in different countries. Last month we saw the celebration of NIDCAP through World NIDCAP day. Jennifer Degl writes about the celebrations and encourage us to think about next year. It is important that we continue to celebrate the achievements of the NFI and the membership.
