Is your baby struggling to feed after the NICU? You are not alone — and you are not imagining it. 💙

In Episode 52, we sat down with Cuyler Romeo, an Occupational Therapist and Pediatric Feeding Specialist, to talk about one of the most common feeding related challenges NICU families face after discharge along with practical recommendations.

We're covering: ✔️ What to ask before you leave the NICU ✔️ What Pediatric Feeding Disorder is (and why a diagnosis can be a good thing) ✔️ How to track feeding at home and know when to ask for help ✔️ Tools and resources to support your baby's feeding journey

🎙Comment 52 below and I'll send you the link straight to your DMs!

NICU families usually go home with a discharge packet. That's about it.

Eat, Play, P**p, Sleep is our free monthly Graduation Orientation for NICU families navigating life at home. It's happening twice a month so more families can make it work, and our next orientation is next Tuesday!

We cover the four things your baby does every single day:
🍼 Feeding after the NICU
🧸 Play and milestone support
💩 ...BMs (yes, seriously)
😴 Safe, realistic sleep

Plus red flags vs. baby just being a baby, calming techniques, and medical costs.

First Tuesday of every month. 12PM + 7:30PM ET.

Discharge is not the end of the story, and every graduate deserves an alumni network. Comment ORIENTATION or GRADUATION ORIENTATION for the link to register.

It's Maternal Mental Health Month 💙 and we couldn't think of a better time to share this conversation.
On our latest podcast episode, we speak with Jacquesta Michel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and NICU mom.

In Episode 51, she opens up about her birth story, her son’s NICU experience, postpartum planning, and why leaning into community can make all the difference after the NICU. 🎧 Comment 51 and we will send you the episode.

Today is the last day of our spring giving campaign. We're raising funds to send materials to 8 new hospitals and to replenish materials for 5 hospitals on our waiting list. We can't do it without you! Click on the link in our profile that says GIVE. 🎉 It's that easy!

We're in the middle of something exciting over here, and we'd love for you to be part of it.

This month, NICU Alumni is raising $5,000, and every dollar goes directly toward reaching more families after discharge.

We're working to onboard 8 new hospital partners and replenish 5 existing ones, so that families leave the NICU with our materials in hand before they even get home.

Because that's when it matters most. Before the 2am second-guessing. Before the feeding trackers and the specialist appointments and the milestone moments that don't make it into the baby books.

We want to be there from the very beginning of what comes next.

If this work means something to you, we'd be grateful for your support. Send us a DM to join us!
