Sibling Support

We understand how challenging it is to care for a baby in the NICU while also looking after children at home. It’s normal to feel torn and overwhelmed, but remember, you’re not alone. Below you will find resources to help you manage this difficult time. These tips and strategies can help your children at home feel secure and included, even when you need to be at the hospital. They also provide advice on how to communicate with your kids about their sibling’s health and involve them in age-appropriate ways. We empathize deeply with your situation and are here to support you. We want to assure you — children are incredibly resilient, and with some attention and explanation they can adapt to these changes. You’re doing your best under extraordinary circumstances, and your strength and love are the greatest gifts you can give to all your children.
