More About This Title Rich and Creamy for Our Preemie

English

With this warm and informative coloring book, parents and siblings of NICU babies learn that love and support flow from many places.

Having a child in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is difficult. It is important for every family member to be included. As children and their families read and color this book, they will learn how the NICU, other Moms, and local milk banks support breastfeeding and work to make the newest family member grow healthy and strong.

Join NICU Coordinators, Child Life Specialists, March of Dimes Chapters, Preemie Organizations, NICU Family Support Coordinators, and preemie parent support organizations all over the country, who use these coloring books to ease the older sibling's adjustment to having a baby brother or sister in the NICU.
