Crynodeb
In November 2020, I gave birth to an extremely premature baby who lived for just 32 days, this time was spent together at a specialist neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the United Kingdom. In this general interest article, I discuss my personal experiences as an NICU parent and share my personal reflections related to the hygiene practices at the NICU. I provide my perspective detailing the consistent and thorough approach to hand hygiene among NICU staff, and in contrast, I share my concerns regarding the hygiene perceptions and practices of NICU mothers when expressing breastmilk. I conclude with the areas in which I believe further research is required and opportunities exist to support mothers to express breastmilk safely and hygienically.
