Enjoying Your Baby

Once your baby is home, it's time to start enjoying the newest member of your family. Parents of a baby who needs special care may sometimes forget about her—and their—emotional needs.

Child Care

If your baby has been in a NICU, talk to your baby's health care provider before you choose a type of child care. If your baby was very premature or had breathing difficulties, he could become quite sick from common illnesses.

Advocating for Your Child

One of your most important roles as a parent is to be your child's best and most assertive cheerleader. That's what an advocate is.

Making the NICU Experience a Part of Your Life

You may feel that your NICU experience has changed you forever and that you want to help others who will walk this road after you. Consider getting involved with the March of Dimes.
