There are so many resources for NICU moms, but what about the dads, the grandfathers, the uncles and the men of the NICU? This season is all about them – their perspectives, their experiences, how they supported their partners, wives, grandkids and friends. The NICU affects an entire family and it’s time to introduce the guys to the group chat. Our guests include dads of quads, NICU cuddlers, rare disease dads, micropreemie dads, mental health advocates and more. Their stories are varied and we hope that something they’ve learned will resonate with you and the men in your life who have had a NICU experience. Let’s hear it for the boys!
