Rady Children's Hospital San Diego: My second baby spent time here, a level 4 NICU. I would also recommend looking into Ronald McDonald Houses, there is one right down the street from Rady’s, a lot of families (especially those who live far from the hospital) will stay there.

Lurie Children’s in Chicago: I work closely with the Foundation team at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago - their NICU does absolutely amazing work (speaking from personal experience.. my son was born in April 2020 and spent some time in the NICU). Reach out if interested and I’ll point you in the right direction. They are truly so wonderful.

UW Medicine: The Best Care for the Smallest Patients: My son stayed here for his first month. The nurses and staff were so incredibly kind to us during this very difficult time and it's one of the best NICU's in the area

Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital: my son was transferred here an hour after being born and I’ve never been more obsessed with a group of people than the nurses who cared for him. A thankfully short stint but that’s not the reality for so many little ones who end up in these places 💘

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at UCSF: They took amazing care of many of my friends’ babies (and mamas) ❤️

Cedars Sinai NICU: My sister’s twins came early (as most twins do) and the Cedars team did an amazing job not only taking care of the babies, but setting my sister and her husband up for success when they finally came home after about a month.

WakeMed Level IV NICU: WakeMed in Raleigh, NC! My daughter was born in April and spent some time in NICU there. I remember it feeling like such a big step when she got approved to wear clothes. It made things seem a little more normal. We had outfits for her, but I know many nurses brought in clothes from their own babies to donate.

Huntington Hospital NICU: my daughter was at the Huntington Hospital NICU in pasadena, CA, this is such a lovely idea! clothing donations are amazing but id also recommend comfortable chairs for parents, too? sitting by my baby for 10 hours a day in a horribly uncomfortable chair was rough 😂 thank you for this, nicu babies are so special ❤️

MUSC: MUSC! My nephew was in the NICU there for a while and my brother and sister in law can’t sing their praises enough. The NICU nurses are all angels on earth. They said the staff was so attentive to the babies there.
