Descripción

Bringing a baby home from the NICU is not just a discharge day—it’s a profound transition. In this first episode of our three-part series, we sit down with Green Bay native and NICU nurse Serenity Mason to talk about what really happens behind those NICU doors—and what families need most when they walk back out into the world. In this episode, we explore: * The most common (and surprising) reasons babies are admitted to the NICU, including full-term infants * What it’s like for parents to transition from 24/7 monitors and medical teams to home life without the cords * How to build confidence in reading your baby’s cues (without relying on technology) * Practical ways to support a fragile nervous system through skin-to-skin, babywearing, and low-stimulation environments * How friends and family can truly help (hint: it’s not by holding the baby) * Why it’s more than okay to say “no” to visitors and hunker down This episode is part of a 3-part series with Serenity Mason, owner of The Milk Grove based out of Green Bay, WI. Be sure to listen to them all!
