S02 EP01: Creating magical memories on neonates

Having a baby in neonates can often leave parents feeling stressed, overwhelmed and anxious. Lots of parents have spoken about how they felt robbed of the beautiful newborn period they had been dreaming of but whilst this stage might be different to how you had expected, there are still ways to create magical memories. In this episode Caroline and Kerry chat to parents and staff about different ways of marking milestones like Christmas, birthdays and anniversaries to create beautiful memories that last a lifetime. With friends and family often feeling helpless, this is something they can get involved in too.
