This calm, evidence-informed companion walks you through the NICU experience with clarity and compassion—explaining the equipment, the medical team, and the daily rhythms you'll encounter. You'll find practical guidance on feeding, bonding through kangaroo care, and decoding your baby's cues, alongside gentle reminders for your own emotional well-being. Each chapter offers concrete tools: how to ask questions confidently, what to expect during rounds, and how to prepare for discharge without feeling rushed.
