The key message of #FiCare is to ensure that parents know this: your presence and participation in the care of your baby is very important. #FiCAreWeek @EdinburghNeo continues #neonates #nicu #nicuBaby #nicuNurse

Asking nicu parents- a friend is putting together some wee gifts for her friends who are new parents of a prem baby- what should go in the box?

Tonight, @STVNews will be airing a piece on the Simpson's Neonatal Unit following @EdinburghUni research which concluded that the more breast milk premature babies are fed while in neonatal intensive care, the greater the level of brain development 👶🧠
