Excellent idea. Will seek them out for info and talk to the Nsy and OB Educators for their buy-in. Then there's our NIDCAP specialist who will need to participate. She has mostly been into nesting, quiet in the NICU, pain assessments, and the like.
This will be a big project - but worthwhile if it 'takes'.
