Birth Injury Guide’s 10 Tips for NICU Parents
Sam Uribe. Author
No parent wants to imagine that their baby will need to spend time in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). But for many families, that is a reality. Parents who have a baby in the NICU feel the gamut of emotions as they wait for the day they can take their new addition home. Whether it is a few days or a few months, this time in NICU can be both scary and rewarding. By staying positive and looking to the future, parents can find a great deal of love and friendship in those they meet in the NICU. This is also a wonderful time to heal from any medical conditions – such as a birth injury – and get to know your baby while they continue to heal and grow and thrive.
