Did you know 1 in 7 babies will access care in NICU when they are born and 60% of those are born at full term.

So why don't we ever talk about what it's like to have a baby in the NICU?

This week I am joined by Clinical Psychologist (And NICU Mum) Dr Frankie Harrison, who specialises in supporting families during and after time spent in NICU through her work as a psychologist and organisation Miracle Moon.

We discuss the practicalities of caring for a baby on NICU from feeding to dressing them, bonding to going home; but with a strong focus on the emotional experience of being a NICU parent, both in the short and longer term.

This September is NICU awareness month, given just how common it is to experience time on NICU, this episode is a must listen for all parents to be- just in case you ever need it!
