That’s where babywearing comes in, and why these NICU nurses are getting high praise.
“This was my biggest stress and concern when my baby was in the NICU,” one NICU mom said in the posts comments. “I couldn’t tell you how many times I told my husband one of us needed to be there because I just knew he needed to be snuggled and touched. NICU nurses are the most amazing humans.”
The common theme among moms with babes in the NICU is this automatic guilt for not being able to be there. These hero NICU nurses were able to take some of that guilt off of their shoulders.
“This is beautiful. After having Elliot in NICU for so long and far away, seeing this is just amazing! So thoughtful, the guilt I had leaving him was heartbreaking. What a lovely idea,” one mom wrote in the comments.
“So sweet!! My little peanut [was] born at 32 weeks!! He’s finally home after a long two months!!! They gave my little boy a lot of love and cuddles when I couldn’t be there! Forever grateful for those nurses who took special care of him!” another mom gushed.
One thing is for sure, these NICU nurses are true gifts! Thank you for all that you do to care for the world’s tiniest little humans.
