About this episode

This episode discusses ways to bond with newborns in the NICU, especially for parents of twins.

Preterm birth is more likely with twins than singletons, which may result in some time in the NICU. Even though your babies may be under constant medical care, there are still plenty of ways to bond with them. How important is physical contact with your newborn? What are some other ways to bond with your babies without touching them? And how can you help siblings and other family members get to know your babies better? Learn more about your ad choices.
