It’s natural for children to have questions or worries about their sibling’s care and what it means for their family. Including and informing them helps build their bond with their new sibling and offers reassurance.
To help explain what’s happening in a way children can understand, we’ve created a short stop-motion animation that introduces the NICU, explains why babies need extra care, and helps children learn about their baby brother or sister.
We also have a helpful book called “When my baby sister, Bella, came to NICU”. Please ask your nurse for a copy.
