Would you like to talk about your NICU experience? Would you like to share what was good and/or not so good about your time on the Norfolk and Norwich NICU? I am hosting listening sessions (either group sessions or 1-2-1). Please get in touch.

Today is Kangaroo Care Awareness Day. In the neonatal unit, the best place to be held is in the loving arms of your parents. #bestsensoryenvironment #skintoskincontact #kangaroocare

Wrapped bath are a beautiful parenting co-occupation. Some little folk prefer to be wrapped for quite sometime. Creating a calm, healing environment, wrapping your baby in a muslin, and lowering them slowly into warm water can be a much more regulating sensory experience.

Great day @EoENeonatalODN Conference 2022!
Replying to @EoENeonatalODN
Our conference now moves on to thinking about follow up. Our OT @JaneOccTh and Physio @rstamp_physio remind us that discharge is just the start of the journey. #NICU #FiCare #optimisation

So relevant! Understanding Interoception, as discussed this morning @EoENeonatalODN
"Our early development of a sense of self is an “embodied” sense of self that occurs prior to the development of a “mindful” sense of self" Glovinsky & Mahler 2020 Understanding and supporting interoception is an important foundational concept for infant mental health.
