It’s not uncommon in our society today to use language like “miraculous” and “overcomer” to only honor the babies that graduate and come home from the NICU. (These babies truly are miraculous and are overcomers!) But we cannot forget to honor the babies who never came home with this same kind of reverence. Because the definition of a miracle in the NICU is not defined only by a homecoming. Tonight we want to honor the mamas of the miraculous Angel babies that forever changed the world by…

It can be both, sweet NICU mama. Your heart is big enough to hold it all. 💕 #dearnicumama

Dear NICU Mom-- I see you. I know you're struggling with so much right now. And I know you can get through this. An open letter of encouragement to the new NICU mom.

It’s true, NICU mama. Even on the days when it feels like you’re waiting in line to have your turn, it is your touch they know. It is your touch that is their home. It is your touch they will forever know as mom. 💕 #dearnicumama

“Dear NICU Mama, As another year comes to a close, I hope you celebrate all the days you felt brave. Maybe it was being wheeled into the NICU for the first time to see your baby wrapped up in their isolate. Maybe it was going home to an empty nursery and feeling an intense amount of emotions of what it feels like to walk out of the hospital doors without your baby. NICU mama, there cannot be bravery without fear. Through this traumatic experience, may you recognize the bravery it took each…

In the NICU, there are always glimmers of light ✨ 🤍 a tiny hand grabbing your finger 🤍 celebrating an extra milliliter of milk in a feed 🤍 better vitals the moment the family comes to the isolette 🤍 a moment of peace in between near constant beeping you are enough and what you are able to give to your babies is more than enough. And the NICU is only the beginning ✨ . . . #nicu #nicumom #nicujourney #niculife #preemiestrong #preemiemom #preemielife #nicumama #lifeafternicu

“Dear NICU Mama, When you doubt yourself, please remember that you already have all of the strength that you need. There may be times when you cannot imagine that you can keep going, but somehow you do. Somehow you get yourself to the hospital despite your healing body demanding rest. Somehow you interrupt your much needed sleep to pump for a machine when you long for your baby. Somehow you walk out of the NICU without your baby day after day. Because, sweet NICU mama, you have the strength…

November is #prematurityawarenessmonth, and we are so grateful for the advocacy and stories of resiliency being shared by so many of you! We wanted to make sure to share this reminder because we know how sneaky intrusive thoughts can be. And if you hear one thing this month? We hope you hear that NICU mama, your child’s early delivery was not your fault. 💕 We know the ache that sits deep within you as you are left with more questions than answers. Was it my diet? Did I sleep on the wrong…

Dear NICU Mama is committed to honoring all NICU journeys and providing helpful dialogue for loved ones when it comes to understanding the NICU motherhood experience. This week, we reached out to some of our sisters to share what they wish people knew about being a mama in the NICU. The more we can understand and empathize with each of our unique NICU journeys, the better we can love and heal each other in the process. To the mamas in the NICU, know that you are seen and loved…

NICU babies have their own story to tell 🩷 We often focus on the whole story of NICU family which is usually through the lens of the parents, family and NICU care team. But when we remember that even the tiniest babies have a voice with their own experiences and stories, we can give them space and permission to share. Sometimes NICU babies can labeled as “fussy” or hard to console. It can be so hard to hear their little voices crying out. But if we stop, pause, truly listen and just be a…

“Dear NICU Mama, As you navigate life after NICU, always remember that you are strong enough for this journey. I know it was scary when your baby was discharged from the NICU. I know sometimes it seems as if you will never get to the end of your to-do list. I know it feels like you are always on the phone with your insurance company, the pharmacy and your hospital’s billing department. I know you are exhausted. I know you sometimes question if you have what it takes to care for your baby…

I never considered the possibility that a traumatic birth and subsequent stay in the NICU with my baby could lead to a diagnosis of PTSD.
