What’s her gestation age? Have you asked to do skin to skin? My nicu had these sewn hearts, i would take one home and there would be one with the baby. And then we would swap. Baby can smell you on the heart and it’s similar to skin to skin. You can read to her. I hope you get to hold her soon! It will be very special!

I would softly sing to my daughter. She’s 3 months now and “You Are My Sunshine” still calms her down when I sing it. I would just tell her about my day so far. Tell her all the things I couldn’t wait to do with her when she got home or when she got older. It’s hard to form bonds in the NICU but just singing or talking helped a lot I think. Good luck ❤️

@Misty she was born at 22weeks6days she is gonna be a month Friday and they said she not stable enough so just to do hug hands

@Ashleigh thank you seems like I'm on the right track

@Tara thank you I appreciate it

I used to read stories to my little one when she was in the incubator- you feel a bit silly at first but even the sound of your voice is soothing to them x

Yes I read to her when I find books I think she like mu favorite part is to tell her my day and what we're gonna do when she get home

@Amanda it’s really special the time you get with your baby when they’re in nicu- there’s nothing else like it and you’ll never forget it. I hope your journey goes well

Thank you @Rachael I just found out today they started the steroids to take the tube out and see how she does she doing great tho

It sounds like you’re doing everything right to bond and interact with her. Definitely continue with the hand holds/hugs and caress her arms and legs. She is definitely loved and feels it’s. I pray she’s continues to grow and that you’ll be able to bring her home soon 🥰🤗🙏🏾

So I just found out yesterday the band has stopped the dart steroids because she has an infection and her white blood count so is elevated so we have to wait a couple weeks to restart them and hopefully they can take the tube out then @Monica

You’re precious little one will be in my prayers luv 🙏🏾 may God bless her ❤️

I appreciate you so much @Monica
