Spending time in the NICU can be one of the scariest experiences that any parent will ever go through.
If you’ve just given birth and your baby has been born prematurely, days can feel like an eternity and staying sane can feel like an incredible challenge. Just as your baby is fighting, so are you. Take time to recognize and acknowledge your own strength, and try to let go of any guilt or self-blame.
We have gathered this list of premature baby quotes and sayings to inspire and keep in mind while your baby is in the NICU. They also make great captions or Instagram and other social media, if you’re sharing any photos with friends or family.
