Babble

Made for parents who have a baby in a Neonatal Unit, NICU or Special Care Unit.

Babble is developed by staff of the Neonatal Unit at MidCentral Health, New Zealand.

It is a reliable source of information about what you can expect when your baby is admitted or going to be admitted to a Neonatal Unit. It also provides an opportunity to write and store journals and photos of your baby and to share that with your extended family.

Babble contains information about feeding, equipment, routine checks and tests, common diseases, medication, information about what you can expect when your baby is born preterm and also information needed when your baby goes home. You can also read stories of other parents’ experience and journey with their baby in the Neonatal unit.
