Why is there a Speech Therapist in the NICU? 🌿
Because behind every monitor, every feeding tube, and every milestone…
there’s a parent holding their breath, hoping their baby is okay.
Our role goes far beyond swallowing and feeding.
It’s about helping parents understand their baby’s cues and reconnect with their instincts.
Sometimes we begin a session by simply saying:
✨ “Let’s watch your baby together.” ✨
And suddenly parents begin to see the communication already happening —
the flutter of fingers, the tiny change in breathing, the soft gaze.
That moment of confidence shifting back into a parent’s body?
That is therapy too.
NICU care is a partnership.
A journey.
A place where parents rediscover their power.
You are your baby’s calm.
Your voice, your touch, your presence — they matter more than you know. 💛
