Finding Peace in the NICU

The trauma of having a baby whisked off to the NICU is nothing short of earth-shattering. This should have been a time all about cuddling your newborn close; instead, the machines and medical staff keeping your preemie baby alive make you feel oceans away from each other. When life becomes one big game of survival for your baby, it can be hard to hold on to hope—and to not feel isolated and alone.

Kristine Putz has been there before. After having twins thirteen weeks premature, she set out to write Finding Peace in the NICU, a supportive resource for preemie and NICU moms. Inside you’ll find empathetic reminders to find moments of self-care and beauty in each day, and encouragement to accept help from others when you need it. Power statements and affirmations provide mantras by which to set boundaries and soldier on in your fight, and journal sections offer space to document your doubts and fears, hopes and wishes.

Your survival is just as important as your baby’s. Finding Peace in the NICU is here to help unburden your soul and inspire you with the hope you need to keep fighting. Survive, momma.
