Bonding with your baby in the NICU can feel so different from what you expected. You might think, ‘I can’t bond with my baby like other parents can.’ Here’s the truth: Every moment you spend with your baby, whether through touch, words, or just being present, builds a unique and meaningful bond. NICU parents often develop deep, powerful connections with their babies because of the extra love and care they pour into every moment. Your bond may look different, but it’s no less beautiful or important. Every small interaction is building something truly special. How have you been bonding with your baby lately? If you’re comfortable, we’d love for you to share those special moments in the comments—and feel free to include a photo! We cherish seeing the love you share with your little ones. 💜
