Our first Summer Initiative was a complete success! 🌞💜 Families gathered in the lounge to enjoy delicious açaí bowls—thanks to the generous support from .wellness and shared a few meaningful moments connecting with one another. Watching those bonds form was truly heartwarming.

A little taste of summer during a dark and difficult time in the NICU can shift the mood, bring light, and uplift spirits—and that’s exactly what we witnessed. This is just the beginning. ✨

PAC Co-Chairs Adrianna and Kayla were honoured to attend a special session on co-designing compassionate care at Mount Sinai.

Compassionate care means more than treatment — it’s about empathy, dignity, and truly seeing the families behind every story. As NICU parents, we know just how much compassion shapes the healing journey.

Grateful to be part of this important conversation and to represent the voices of families in shaping the future of care. 💜

There are things that we can relate to each other and understand more than anyone else could. We all had a similar lived experience.

Making connections during your nicu stage and after is vital in support for during and after an experience like the nicu. At your own pace, of course!

It's never too late to connect with those who can support you and understand what you went through and may still be going through.

TAG your nicu buddies and supporters! 💐

Not every birth begins with joy and celebration.

For some of us, it begins with fear, grief, and the unexpected.
This week, we hold space for every parent who carries a birth story that didn’t go as planned — and remind you:

Your healing is yours. It’s slow, it’s powerful, and it’s worth every step. 💛

You are not alone.

During our last meeting, we had a very important discussion on the topic oral feeding in the nicu with OT staff Heather Steciuk.

We thought we would bring you these questions and get your feedback.

1. What barriers are there in participating in oral feeding in the NICU

and

2. What are some options to reduce these barriers?

As members of the parent advisory committee, we are grateful for the opportunity to give feedback to improve the life in nicu with these important discussions!

Keep in mind that every baby's journey is different. That is why it's important to give feedback from your unique situation.

Thank you!

To the fathers spending today beside incubators instead of cribs — we see you.
Your strength, your quiet love, your protective presence mean everything.
You are already the hero your baby looks up to. 💙

Happy Father’s Day to the NICU dads — your love is powerful, and so are you.

💛 What is TPN? 💛
TPN stands for Total Parenteral Nutrition — it’s a way of delivering essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream when a baby or child can’t safely eat by mouth or through a feeding tube. For many NICU warriors and children with complex feeding issues, TPN becomes their lifeline.

In the NICU, some babies are born too early or too sick for their little digestive systems to handle food. TPN bypasses the gut entirely, giving them the calories, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals they need to grow and heal. 🌱

For kids with feeding difficulties, TPN is often used when other feeding methods aren’t enough. It’s not always easy — TPN can come with challenges and risks — but it can also be a literal life-saver.

So if you see a little one with an IV pole full of glowing bags and tubes, just know that’s not "just fluids" — that’s courage, science, and hope in a bag. 💉✨
