The NICU is a place of hope, healing and specialized care. Here are five things you may not know:

Not every NICU baby is born prematurely. Full-term babies sometimes need specialized care, too.

Parents are an important part of the care team and are encouraged to participate in their baby's care whenever possible.

Every baby has an individualized treatment plan based on their unique needs.

Many NICU graduates go on to live healthy, active lives.

Community support helps provide resources that make a difference for babies and families during their NICU journey.

Every milestone matters in the NICU.

While weight gain is an important sign of progress, families also celebrate many other meaningful moments along the way:

- Wearing clothes instead of a hospital blanket
- Moving from an incubator to a crib
- Taking a full bottle
- Breathing without extra support
- Being held for longer periods of time

These milestones may seem small, but they represent incredible progress and bring families one step closer to going home.

Premature babies are still growing and developing in ways that would normally happen inside the womb. That's why something as simple as the way a baby is positioned can make an important difference.

Developmental positioning uses specially designed blankets, rolls and cushions to help babies maintain a comfortable, supported position. Proper positioning promotes healthy muscle development, encourages flexion, supports breathing and can even improve sleep and digestion.

As babies grow stronger, their positioning changes to encourage age-appropriate movement and development. These thoughtful techniques are just one of the many ways NICU teams support healthy growth beyond medical treatment.

We are grateful to the Millville Quilting Club for their generous donation of handmade blankets and scent hearts for families in the Deborah F. Sager NICU.

The blankets provide warmth and comfort during a baby's hospital stay. Scent hearts are small fabric hearts that parents keep close before placing them with their baby, allowing newborns to smell a familiar scent even when they cannot be held. This simple gesture can help strengthen the bond between parents and their little ones during a challenging time.

Thank you to the Millville Quilting Club for helping bring comfort, connection and love to the families we serve.

World Breastfeeding Week is an opportunity to recognize that every family's feeding journey is unique, especially when a baby requires NICU care.

Some babies are not yet strong enough to breastfeed immediately after birth. During this time, lactation consultants and NICU nurses work closely with parents to help establish milk supply, safely store breast milk and prepare babies for feeding when they are developmentally ready.

Breast milk provides valuable nutrients and antibodies that help support growth and protect against infection.

Even when families cannot be at the bedside, connection remains important.

NICU teams help families stay engaged by providing updates, answering questions and encouraging involvement whenever possible. Parents are guided on how to participate in care and stay informed about their baby’s progress.

Maintaining that connection helps support both emotional bonding and confidence during a challenging time.

The sounds of the NICU can feel overwhelming at first, but each one serves an important purpose. Monitors track a baby’s heart rate, breathing, oxygen levels and sometimes blood pressure. These systems alert staff if a reading goes outside of a set range. Not every alarm signals an emergency. Some may sound if a baby moves or if a sensor shifts.

NICU staff are trained to quickly assess each situation and determine when intervention is needed. These systems provide an added layer of safety and allow care teams to respond to even subtle changes.

While the world's best soccer players compete on the global stage, we're celebrating some inspiring champions right here at home in the Deborah F. Sager Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

This month, we recognize the incredible babies in our care, the families who support them and the caregivers who are honored to be part of their journey. ❤️ 👶 ⚽️

Warm weather brings new considerations for newborn care. Newborns, especially NICU graduates, can be more sensitive to heat and sun exposure. Keeping babies cool, well hydrated and out of direct sunlight helps protect their health. Lightweight clothing, shaded areas and limiting time outdoors during peak heat are simple ways to keep babies safe.

These small precautions can make a big difference during the summer months.
