To a newborn, neonatal units appear exceedingly loud, astonishingly bright, unbelievably chaotic and intermittently painful. Providers do everything they can to maximize the peace and comfort of their charges, but only so much can be done. So, any technique which can reduce pain, decrease physical stressors, induce sleep, and increase hunger and the tendency to suck…. all without robbing the infant of energy, is like a gift from the NICU gods. Enter Neonatal Hydrotherapy and Therapeutic Bathing.
