Research is revealing that something as simple as a parent's voice can improve a premature baby's vital signs, strengthen parent-child bonding, and even help babies leave the NICU sooner. And the healing doesn't stop with baby. For parents navigating one of the most frightening and helpless experiences imaginable, singing offers mutual benefits along with a meaningful way to comfort and actively care for their child when so much else is out of their hands.
