Paying It Forward for NICU Families

“Our baby was about to be born nine weeks prematurely. It was so scary and I felt so alone. I felt like my body failed me.” NICU mom, Chelsea Mandler, endured a long NICU journey filled with many ups and downs with her baby, Shai. Now, on the other side, she and her husband are partnering with ICU baby during World Prematurity Month to “pay it forward.”

ICU baby will honor World Prematurity Month this November with a series of events to unite our community while honoring the difficult journey endured by NICU families and building awareness of the support those families desperately need.

Successful Summer Swaddle Drive!


Hundreds of NICU babies will be “swaddled” in style thanks to the generous donors who contributed to our Summer Swaddle Drive! We collected hundreds of baby swaddle blankets that promote safe sleeping for our NICU families. Former NICU families and the community came together through social media for this drive. The overwhelming support exceeded our expectations!
