A guided journal for documenting your baby's daily activities in the NICU. Designed by NICU nurses and parents to ensure it provides technical accuracy in a comforting, nurturing, empowering way. This journal is ideal for any parents with a newborn baby in the hospital. It includes space for 8 weeks worth of tracking, updates, and prompts to keep a record of your baby's progress throughout their NICU journey. The journal opens with words of encouragement from the author who has been a NICU nurse for 25 years, counseling and comforting thousands of families through their NICU experiences. This simple journal prompts new parents to do more than just write down statistics - it encourages involvement, bonding and better communication with the NICU nurses and doctors. For every day in the NICU there are 2 pages for documenting daily activities like feedings, medications, bonding activities and much more. After 7 days, there is a weekly summary section for parents to jot down bigger thoughts & memories. It has been thoughtfully designed with space for parents to add photos of their baby week by week, but the journal still looks lovely and complete even if no photos are added. The NICU journey is often compared to a roller coaster- there are ups and downs, and plenty of curves! It can be overwhelming, so we've created a NICU journal to help you take notes, track progress, and document all of the special moments you'll cherish forever.
