You’re finally home from the NICU… Now what?!

While in the NICU, you and your baby received world-class support around the clock. Now that your baby has been discharged (hooray 🎉), we understand that this transition can bring a mix of emotions like excitement and nervousness. You may even feel alone and unsure about what steps to take next. We're here to help so that you thrive well beyond the transition from the NICU, celebrating every milestone with you along the way.

We have designed an email series to provide support and education to families like yours, now that your baby has graduated from the NICU- to help ease the transition home and to connect you with the resources you need.
