Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) — Sibling Visitation in the NICU

Brothers and sisters who are at least 3 years old may visit in the NICU. All sibling visits are to be scheduled with your baby’s nurse and must include health status screening for each child, prior to each visit. Please limit your visitation time to a period that is developmentally appropriate for the sibling. Sibling visits are a maximum of 30 minutes. You should also plan to have adequate adult supervision of all brothers and sisters who may be visiting. With your cooperation, we hope to make your family’s visit as meaningful and supportive as possible.
