Premature Birth - A Parental Guide

35 SUMMARY Seeing your baby in the NICU can be stressful, especially when she/he is surrounded by a multitude of high-tech equipment. However, it is rewarding to know that your baby is receiving round-the-clock care and is growing stronger every day. When babies are in the NICU, parents often feel they cannot do much, but that's not the case. Parents are welcome to visit their baby in the NICU and provide emotional support to establish a sense of security and comfort for their newborn. Oral feeding, breastfeeding, gentle stroking, massages, singing, and providing developmentally supportive care are things parents can provide their babies.
