Описание: Bonding with your baby can help create a strong emotional attachment and positively impact your baby’s development! When your baby is in the NICU, holding them can feel challenging, especially with IVs, G tubes, or their small size. However, there are ways to bond with your baby that can help you feel more comfortable with physical contact.

• Skin-to-Skin Contact (Kangaroo Care):** Discover the benefits of this simple yet powerful method that helps regulate your baby's heart rate, breathing, and temperature, while promoting digestion and feeding. Watch the video as we guide you on how to safely practice skin-to-skin contact, even in the NICU.
• Massage+ 30, 10, 5 Intervention:** This research-backed, 15-minute routine enhances your baby’s sensory development, sleep, feeding, and bonding. The Massage+ 30, 10, 5 intervention includes 30 seconds of talking, 10 minutes of massage, and 5 minutes of rocking.
