About My NICU Book

The vision

In My NICU Book, you follow the little rabbit and his friends as they take you on a journey through the forest and the baby's time in the neonatal intensive care unit.

My NICU book is a personal diary for the baby who is admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. The book is initially designed for nurses to fill in the pages for their little patients, but can also be used by parents or other caregivers. The book is a tool for documenting the days in the ward, big and small events, learning and processing the stay. The result will be a book full of valuable memories from the time in the NICU.

The story

My NICU Book is an idea after a long term project called «My first book» from Norways largest Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Ullevål Hospital in Oslo. For over 15 years the nurses has made personalized books for the newborns admitted.

After many years of making the books, and getting feedback from parents and staff, My NICU Book is specifically designed to accommodate as much as possible of the NICU story.

The motivation for taking the time to make the books is the exclusively positive feedbacks from they who receive it. This is a gift they cherish forever.
