Our very own NICU mother holding her baby for the first time on day 16 out of 68 that was spent in the NICU. Holding your baby for the first time is a moment and feeling unlike no other.
As we hold our babies today, we are thinking of those mothers in Israel and Palestine. At ICU baby, we strive to unite families together both in and out of the NICU. Our hearts and prayers are with all those that have been affected. 💙

September is Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU)Awareness Month!

Half of all babies admitted into the NICU are premature (37 weeks or earlier). The other half are full term, close to full term or late term that are having some issue that needs to be monitored by the NICU staff.

Graham's Foundation primary focus is to help families who have a premature birth and are in the NICU, but we can always help those term and later term families find the help, resources and support they need such as Project NICU Project Sweet Peas Today is a Good Day , Bryce's NICU Project and ICUbaby.org
