We also got to put this very special bauble @SingletonNICU very kindly made for us last year, with a ribbon inside which was the same length as our little babe. So lovely to see it on the Christmas tree at last 🥰

Though our lovely little boy was not premature, he did spend two very long and very difficult weeks in the care of the amazing @SingletonNICU after he was born last year. It’s so important we support families going through the NICU experience and raise awareness where we can
🗓️ On November 17th, we come together to mark #WorldPrematurityDay to raise awareness of the impact the neonatal experience can have on parents’ mental health. Throughout the week, we will be highlighting #NeonatalFeelings – the emotions families face in NICU. 💙 We recognise that for some families, this day may bring painful memories, feelings of loss, or ongoing challenges, and that it may not feel like a celebration. Every journey is unique; whatever you're feeling is valid. We’re here to support you.

Diolch Lauren and Alex ✨ for sharing your story about lovely Theo!
The arrival of your first baby is a truly memorable occasion for most couples but for Lauren and Alex Kiley, it could so easily have turned into a nightmare. Read their story here sbuhb.nhs.wales/news/swansea…

Diolch Rhiannon ❤️ thank you so much!
There are thousands of mums who are grateful to Singleton Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for saving their baby’s life, but not many of them went through it twice. Rhiannon Hodgson is one such person. Read the story here sbuhb.nhs.wales/news/swansea…

Studies have shown that the level of speech exposure a baby has in the #NICU has a positive impact on baby’s development. There are many ways parent's voice can be used in the NICU, including the use of our parent voices feature. For more, click here: ow.ly/qbRI50RaHNy
