1 in 10 babies will spend time in the NICU — but most doulas never learn how to support them.

This short, powerful guide shares what every doula should know about NICU babies and their families — and how you can make a lasting impact, even in the most unexpected birth outcomes.

What You'll Learn:

Inside 5 Things Every Doula Needs to Know About NICU Babies and Their Families, you’ll discover:

Why the NICU isn’t a failure — and how to reframe it as a place of healing

How to show up with grounded, trauma-informed support (even when you’re nervous)

Why YOU matter — and how your presence helps families feel more seen, heard, and capable

What to say (and not say) when things get hard

Why your support after discharge is just as important as your support during birth

Who Is It For?

Whether you’re a brand new doula or a seasoned support pro, this guide is for you if:

You want to feel more prepared in case your client ends up in the NICU

You care deeply about supporting all outcomes — not just the perfect ones

You’ve felt unsure, out of place, or “not expert enough” in medical settings

You want to build trust and connection with families during their hardest moments

Meet Your Guide

Hi, I’m Mary Farrelly

NICU nurse, doula, educator, and founder of The NICU Translator. I created this guide to bridge the gap between birth work and NICU care — because families deserve support at every stage, not just the parts we plan for.

I’ve supported hundreds of families through NICU stays, and I’ve trained doulas around the world to do the same — with clarity, compassion, and confidence. This guide is your first step.

PS — Ready to Take the Next Step?

Once you grab the guide, you’ll also get access to a $27 mini-course called: The NICU Toolkit for Doulas.


It’s packed with scripts, a birth plan template, and a short video to help you start the conversation with confidence. Keep an eye on your inbox!
