Did you know? Caffeine helps NICU babies breathe.
Your daily caffeine gets you through the day. Their daily caffeine can be a lifesaver.
Sometimes NICU babies, with their underdeveloped respiratory system, forget to breathe. Small doses of caffeine, carefully monitored by the medical team, help stimulate breathing, support heart function, and aid development.
Join your community in supporting NICU families
This October, Hand to Hold is inviting local coffee shops to join a month long campaign that brings businesses and neighbors together in support of NICU families.
Caffeine has been used for nearly 50 years in the treatment of apnea of prematurity, a condition in which a baby “forgets” to breathe.1
