Sibling ReTreat

A new baby is a big change for brothers and sisters. Feelings of fear, jealousy, and anxiety that often come with a new baby may be magnified if the new baby is premature or sick. Tubes, wires, machines, strangers surrounding baby, and the changes that they see in their parents can all be very scary for a child. Sibling ReTreat is a class/party for siblings of the babies in the NICU. They will learn about the special care their babies receive, make an arts and craft project, and have refreshments. Sign up with the secretary at the front desk if you plan on attending. The class is for children 3 and older and will be held two Wednesdays a month at 4:00 p.m. and lasts 45 minutes. The schedule will be posted in the parent lounge.
