Before and after: strong photos of children who were born prematurely

Depending on how early the child was born, he and his parents face problems of varying degrees of complexity. Many of the kids overcome all difficulties with dignity — and this is clearly seen in the photo project of Quebec photographer Red Meto. He showed premature babies right after birth, in an incubator— and they are older.
