An introduction to the NICU

As a parent in the NICU, you are not a visitor. You are your baby's voice, you are a vital part of your baby's team, and you are welcome here 24 hours a day. You are the most important person for your baby.
When your baby is in the NICU, he/she needs you. We can provide excellent, state of the art medical and technical care, and we can provide comfort, warmth and affection for your baby, but we cannot parent your baby.
As a parent, you provide love and devotion to your baby that only a parent can. We in the NICU want you to be with your baby as often as you can.
Have a look at our FAQ for answers to some common questions.
Activities you can do include (but are not limited to) hand-hugging or holding your baby, taking temperatures, changing diapers or holding feeding tubes.
We congratulate you on the birth of your baby or babies, and we wish the best for you and your family.
