In this week’s episode Amy & Grecian go back to the beginning and talk about how to best help and support a friend who has a baby in NICU, as well as what not to do/say and the best gifts you can give – we’re not lying when we say the best gift is ‘doing’ without being asked! We recall the memorable things that people did to support us personally, as well as some harder parts of the experience that we wish others could better understand. We hope it provides some insight and is shared far and wide for those who are currently in the depths of NICU life.
Today’s episode is sponsored by Miracle Mumma: an online store and community supporting families of premature and/or unwell babies by providing hope, comfort and a sense of belonging.
