In today’s episode I speak with mum of three Pamela about her experience with premature babies. She had her three sons at 35, 34 and 33 weeks which has meant she’s spent a lot of time in NICU and Special Care Nurseries. Pamela shares some challenges and some positives from her experiences. We cover topics like:
- Pamela’s experience of premature labour
- Baby being transferred to a different hospital for higher care
- What it’s like first holding your baby when they’re so small
- What did day to day look like whilst baby was in the nursery
- Pamela’s breastfeeding experience with premature babies
- Managing nursery life with older kids
- Explaining what’s going on to the older kids
- How to cope with setbacks in baby’s progress
- How can people help support families who’s baby is in the nursery
And much more.
