Welcome
to StorkNet's NICU Support Cubby!

While we wish that no baby would ever have to spend time in the NICU, we realize that some babies will have to spend a few days, weeks or even months in the NICU. We hope that you will find this cubby a valuable source of support, information and encouragement if you do end up having to visit your newborn in the NICU.
