[quote=Anonymous]This is a tough one because I imagine most people who have been in the NICU have strong feelings about it one way or the other. My son was there in August 2020 for just over a week. It was all one room with the beds close together. Very tough to get any privacy, so I would be prepared for that. At that time only one parent was allowed at a time, so hopefully that is no longer the case now that there are fewer covid restrictions. I pumped there a couple times but it was very awkward due to how visible I was to the rest of the room and the lack of places to plug in the pump. A previous PP said that there is now a pumping room, so that's a good change. The doctors were very good - very communicative re: the plan of care. This is my biggest need-to-know tip -  find out when rounds are in the morning and make sure to be there to talk to the attending while they're there and hear the discussion among the attending and the residents. It was very difficult for me to get information otherwise and impossible to get anyone on the phone. The nurses do not necessarily know the plan of care so can't communicate it. In the end though my baby is healthy and 4 years old now. I wish you all the best of luck and hope your baby can come home quickly. [/quote]
