Twin infants often spend their first days or weeks in neonatal units, where decisions about their care can deeply affect families. This study explored how Australian neonatal units approach “twin co-bedding”, placing twin infants together on a shared safe surface.

The first minutes after birth are crucial for every newborn, especially for those requiring resuscitation. One important question for healthcare professionals is whether resuscitation should begin before or after cutting the umbilical cord. In recent years, delayed cord clamping has shown many benefits, such as improved circulation and iron levels in newborns.

This policy statement reflects the insights and discussions from a multi-day workshop convened by the Global Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants in October 2025. Leaders of national parent organizations contributed their perspectives and explored potential solutions for RSV prevention, taking into account the current RSV situation in their countries and its impact on the most vulnerable populations in society.
