"You Are Important" - Fatherhood in NICU

In this episode, Dr. Matthew Buckingham, neonatologist, NICU dad - and researcher into fatherhood on the unit, joins Maggie and Sarah to shine a light on how Dads and non-birthing partners experience neonatal intensive care.

From birth, to juggling life both at home and at the hospital, fathers can sometimes feel overlooked in the neonatal journey.

Matt shares voices from his research, and talks about the challenges - and triumphs for Dads and non-birthing partners as they support their partner, get to know the medical team, and bond with their baby, in an environment that probably wasn't quite what they had planned.
