MMPPSG: Bringing Home Our Preemie
What I did get to do on those long sleepless nights when I worried about my baby in the NICU was read up on preemies: what to expect, what red flags to watch out for, and what support groups I can go to for help.

Why do Babies Need Sunlight?
The usual recommendation is 15-30 minutes a day between the hours of 7am and 9am, or early morning sun.

For most of the rules we bend during the summer, a little creativity goes a long way, snacks included!
When Done Correctly, Swaddling Can Help Promote Sleep for Infants
Swaddling is an ancient practice of wrapping infants in cloth to keep them comfortable and warm, creating a cozy and secure feeling of being in the womb. It helps calm babies when they startle themselves awake at night. Babies with colic and those born with neurologic problems or babies born addicted to drugs may find swaddling very comforting and helpful.
