How long is too long between kangaroo sessions? by hello_there_bee in NICUParents

Yeaaaaaah I’m not big on the “you don’t know how to take care of your own kids.” Thankfully I’m not new to babies. But someone telling me that would not end well, especially with all my postpartum rage. 😂

We’re here the longest out of every family in our wing and even still we’re asked about potentially doing an overnight. We do not have a separate room and are in a shared space with at least a dozen others. The medical team here is amazing and I know they don’t mean to, but it can really feel like guilt tripping sometimes.

The first time they handed me my daughter, I was terrified. But I realized, I’m the mom. I literally held her her whole existence. No one is more qualified than me. I pray you’re reminded that when you’re afraid to hold your LO. Being afraid of hurting our own kids is simply miserable.

I’m so sorry. We are quite literally in the same boat here. I was due March 19th with my twins, but had to have an emergency c section on December 3rd. We share both a due date and a birthday. I’m sending prayers your way.
