	Parent Advocates Born in the NICU
		NICU parents may be invited to take over much or part of the routine care (e.g., feeding, holding, changing, bathing) of their children when medically feasible.
		NICU personnel can make a special effort to ensure that parents are involved in the accomplishment of major milestones (e.g., first bottle, first clothes, first time out of isolette, first bath).
		The same factors that are important in the NICU continue to play an important role in the lives of parents and children after discharge.

	Common Diagnoses in the NICU
		Although not all babies in the NICU have the same illness or condition, there are some diagnoses that are common to newborns who need intensive care.
		Infants with serious cases may spend several weeks to months in the NICU and be at risk for conditions like cerebral palsy or seizures later in life.
		Eating is the most energy-consuming process for a newborn, and babies in the NICU often don't have the strength or energy to feed on their own.

	Neonatal intensive care unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NICUs were developed in the 1950s and 1960s by pediatricians to provide better temperature support, isolation from infection risk, specialized feeding, and access to specialized equipment and resources.
		A NICU is typically directed by one or more neonatologists and staffed by nurses, nurse practitioners, resident physicians, and respiratory therapists.
		NICU rotations are essential aspects of pediatric and obstetric residency programs, but NICU experience is encouraged by other specialty residencies, such as family practice, surgery, and emergency medicine.

	eMedicine - Follow-up of the NICU Patient : Article by Michael P Sherman, MD, FAAP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The major goals of the pediatrician or family practitioner who monitors an NICU graduate are to provide (1) ongoing assessment of growth, (2) evaluation of adequate nutrition, (3) periodic examination of the infant's, child's, or adolescent's motor, intellectual, and behavioral development, and (4) delivery of preventive care.
		The NICU graduate that emerges as a "vulnerable child" because the parents feel guilt or the parents are overprotective must be recognized by the PCP.
		NICU follow-up clinics vary in the populations served, the assessment tools used, and the time (until age 2-3 y) during which follow-up visits are undertaken.

		In the NICU are two family participation rooms where parents may room in overnight with their child before she or he is discharged to gain confidence in feeding, giving medicines, handling special equipment, and gaining confidence with their baby.
