“It’s nice for us to get to do some things that normal parents would get to do with their babies—having the opportunity to have these fun moments, to see people celebrating your child, not worrying about him. It means the world," Brittany, a NICU mom at Dayton Children’s, said.
This is part of an ongoing effort by the hospital to create joyful, memory-making experiences for families, even within the hospital walls.
