40 a) Accept and communicate: It is advisable that parents accept their baby’s condition as soon as possible and avoid straying into thoughts about the endless possibilities of what if their baby had been born full-term. Vocalizing your worries and questions to your doctors will help you understand the situation and handle the uncertainties more effectively. b) Ensure good care: Pregnancy and delivery put a lot of stress on the mother’s body, especially in the case of preterm delivery. It is important to prioritize the mother’s health and take the required rest, medication, and nutrition as advised by the doctor. This will also help with lactation as most babies are introduced to feeding during their NICU stay.
