Hi
Just wondering if anyone has any experience of having a baby in NICU and an older child and any tips to help them manage?
DD was born a week ago at 35 weeks due to preeclampsia, all went very well for the first 24hours and then she was diagnosed with a malrotration and whisked off to the bigger hospital nearby for an operation, I followed along a day later. I'm now hom but DD is in the NICu and likely to be there for a while, my Mum came up to.help with 4 year old DS but has now gone home. DS seems all over the place at the moment, tantrums, upset, shouting and I can see why but it's really hard.to cope with on top of worrying about baby and recovering from the section. Any advice? Trying to get him back into a routine but I'm struggling myself and haven't got much patience left.
