What to Expect in the NICU and how to foster baby's development

In honor of NICU awareness month, I welcome two medical professionals who work hard in taking care of our precious babies in the NICU. 

I welcome Dr. Kate Rubey (@drkater on Instagram) who is a Neonatologist. We discuss: 

• Interventions that are done in the NICU
• What happens on NICU rounds 
• What she wishes every parent would know about the NICU

I also welcome Katie Ross (@bloominglittles on Instagram) who is an Occupational Therapist in the Neonatal ICU. We discuss:

• Five ways parents can support their baby's development in the NICU
• How to participate in care in the NICU
