September is NICU Awareness Month 💜
For the families who spend days, weeks, or months navigating monitors, milestones, uncertainty, and the ache of wanting to simply take their baby home — your experience matters.
A NICU journey can bring joy and gratitude with the victories & milestones met, alongside fear, grief, anxiety, and trauma from the struggles, hard battles, and uncertainty. All of those feelings can coexist.
Before this month comes to a close, we wanted to make space & honor the strength of NICU babies and their families, remember the families whose stories took a different path, acknowledge the gift of NICU healthcare providers, and recognize the lasting impact a NICU experience can have long after discharge.
Support doesn’t end when a baby comes home. Neither should we stop caring for the parents who walked through those doors 💜
