What care does my preterm baby need after coming home from the NICU?
Is it normal to feel anxious or guilty as a parent of a preterm baby?
Yes, it is completely normal. Many parents of preterm baby's experience anxiety, guilt, sadness, and helplessness. These feelings do not mean you are failing - they mean you care deeply. Do not hesitate to talk to the hospital’s counsellor, your family, or a support group. Taking care of your own mental health is an important part of caring for your baby.
