What does the research show?

Research shows that parents being involved in their baby’s care on the neonatal unit can have positive effects on them and their baby.

What parents told us

We surveyed over 1,200 parents to find out more about how they felt when they arrived on the unit, how they got involved in their baby’s care, and how this affected them and their baby.
