did you know that every single experience matters, especially for a nicu baby?
Whether it’s a diaper change, physical touch, hearing your voice, or
experiencing your smell. Every moment with your baby is shaping the way they take in and respond to the world around them.
Caring for your baby likely doesn't look the way you imagined it would. Even though your baby needs special medical care, it doesn't mean you can't be involved in those special moments like diaper changes or holding them. We can show you how.
If you're not sure where to start or what you can be doing to support your baby, go ahead and get started with one of these resources. Because we KNOW you can do
this.
