🧸BABIES IN NICU🧸
When babies are born early, have health problems, or a difficult birth they go to the hospital's NICU.
NICU stands for "neonatal intensive care unit." There, babies get around-the-clock care from a team of experts.
Most of these babies go to the NICU within 24 hours of birth. How long they stay depends on their health condition. Some babies stay only a few hours or days; others stay weeks or months.
Studies have shown that Baby Massage supports the development of premature babies in NICU. They spend less time in hospital and have slightly better scores on developmental tests and slightly fewer postnatal complications.
