NICU: 7 Extra Items You Need Now!

Don’t be without these Seven Extra Items if your newborn is in NICU!

After a not-so-normal delivery, my daughter and her husband welcomed Baby Sunshine into their lives! We all were excited but the baby started with an extra 14 days in the hospital fighting an infection.

These also make a great GIFT BASKET for a friend who is in the hospital postpartum with her infant.
