CAMC Women and Children’s receives NICU equipment after nomination in program

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at CAMC Women and Children’s Hospital got new crucial equipment on Monday. Project 4, an initiative sponsored by Project Sweet Peas, a national non-profit that supports NICUs and NICU families, and 4moms, the makers of the mamaRoo infant seat, announced CAMC as one of the 10 hospital recipients of its “Nominate a NICU” program. As part of the nomination, the hospital received seven mamaRoo infant seats for its NICU. “The mamaROO is in 375 hospitals across the country and we have heard from numerous doctors and nurses just how transformational it really is to have in the NICU. Specifically, with NAS babies that need constant motion, the mamaROO helps to calm and soothe them,” Amie Stanton, Director of Brand Engagement, 4moms told MetroNews. Stanton said CAMC was one of 10 hospitals selected of around 100 nominations nationwide. Nominations came in from NICU patients or people who knew patients. MamaROO is an infant seat that replicates the natural motions of parents. The item that normally has costs starting at $220 bounces up and down and sways from side to side to soothe and comfort a baby. “In the NICU, they are very helpful when the families aren’t here or the nurses are busy with a full NICU. They can set the babies down in the mamaROO and that motion comforts and soothes them,” Stanton said.
