It's a NICU World: Caring Beyond the NICU

A planner designed for the parents whose journey didn’t end at discharge.
Because caring for a medically complex child requires more than love—it requires tools, clarity, and support.

When your baby leaves the NICU, the world expects life to go “back to normal.” But NICU parents know the truth: the real journey begins at home. Suddenly you're juggling specialist appointments, therapy schedules, medications, symptom tracking, feeding plans, and your own emotional recovery—while trying to hold everything together.

It’s a NICU World: Caring Beyond the NICU is a planner created specifically for parents navigating medically complex care after the NICU. Built by a NICU mom and nurse practitioner, this planner blends lived experience with medical insight to help you stay organized, informed, and supported through every step of your child’s journey.

Why This Planner Is Different

Whether you’re tracking seizures, logging symptoms, coordinating multiple specialists, or documenting developmental progress, this planner helps you find clarity in the chaos.

Created with love.
Grounded in lived experience.
Built to help you breathe again.
