Navigating NICU with Dr Frankie Harrison

After a short break whilst we were at various Baby Shows, enjoying the Easter holidays and many bank holidays, I’m delighted to be back today and talking to Dr Frankie Harrison about experiencing Neo-natal intensive care with your baby.

Frankie is a clinical psychologist and co-founder of Miracle Moon, an organisation that provides support for the NICU community past, present and future.

Frankie also provides invaluable content to our online Parent Hub so subscribers can access educational and supportive information about NICU should they ever need it.

The topics we cover on this episode include:

• Frankie's own experience of NICU
• How an expectant parent can prepare for the unexpected
• The realities of the impact needing NICU support can have on your mental health and what support is available
• Ways in which friends and family can support you - here is the link to the list mentioned: Ways to support
• How to approach this period with siblings - here is the link to the book mentioned: The Invisible String
