My son was born @ 28 weeks and spent 68 days in the NICU at Bethesda Naval Medical Center. Nothing is more heartwrenching and helpless knowing there's nothing you can do to help your little one when they are in that situation. What I could do was to bring a CD I had bought for him a few weeks earlier, not knowing he would be born 12 weeks early. My little guy has been listening to this CD since he was just a few weeks old and it always makes him feel safe and secure knowing that he knows the sound of something familiar. This puts him in "bed mode" when we take him upstairs and it calms him down and off to sleep he goes. Now that he's almost 9 months old, he still gives us that look as if he knows that everything's OK.This makes his mom and dad feel OK too...
