It’s Thankful Thursday, and we’re catching up It’s Thankful Thursday, and we’re catching up with sweet Tallulah and her mom, Jessica, as they reflect on their NICU journey and celebrate her first birthday.

Sweet Tallulah is celebrating her first birthday—and what a joyful, smiley little girl she’s become! She loves to pose for photos, people-watch, splash in the bath or pool, snack on her favorite treats, and play with the family dog. 

Tallulah spent 83 days in the NICU. Her journey was filled with both challenges and hope. Jessica remembers the heartbreak of leaving the hospital without her daughter that first day, and the setbacks like needing increased breathing support. But the bright spots made all the difference—like seeing her graduate from an isolate to an open crib, take her first bottle, latch for the first time, gain weight, and finally breathe without support.

Jessica shares this message for families currently in the NICU:
 “You are not alone. One day, this will feel like a distant memory. Be kind to yourself, and ask for help. Your baby is strong—and so are you.”
To our supporters and donors: thank you. Your generosity provides comfort and care during such an overwhelming time. As Jessica puts it, “You are a part of our story, and I am forever grateful.”

If you have an update you'd like to share with us, we’d love to hear from you! Please email us at info@madelynsfund.org or submit your story through the “Share Your Story” link in our bio: https://madelynsfund.org/madelyns-story/testimonials/shareyourstory/

Today is Kangaroo Care Awareness Day! 🦘💗 Kan Today is Kangaroo Care Awareness Day! 🦘💗
Kangaroo Care—also known as skin-to-skin care—is a powerful, proven practice that provides countless benefits for both NICU babies and their parents.

What is it?
Kangaroo Care involves placing a diapered infant directly on a parent’s bare chest. This simple act creates deep, lasting effects—both physically and emotionally.

🎀 For babies, it can:
 ✔️ Stabilize heart rate, breathing, and temperature
 ✔️ Improve weight gain and sleep patterns
 ✔️ Boost immunity and brain development
 ✔️ Reduce stress and pain

🎀 For parents, it can:
 ✔️ Promote healing and calm
 ✔️ Strengthen the bond with the baby
 ✔️ Encourage colostrum and milk production
 ✔️ Build confidence as a caregiver
 ✔️ Reduce stress and the risk of perinatal mood disorders

And remember—Kangaroo Care isn't just for moms. Dads can (and should!) get in on the snuggles too. Their touch is just as healing and important for the baby’s development.

Kangaroo Care is more than a moment—it’s a milestone. That first skin-to-skin experience is one that so many NICU families cherish forever.

We’re also sending a big THANK YOU to our friends at @kangaroo_cozies 💙🦘—every purchase gives back to NICU families through Madelyn’s Fund. To learn more and shop Kangaroo Cozies, visit their link in our profile.

💬 Drop a comment and share your first Kangaroo Care story. How did that first touch make you feel?

Happy #KangarooCareDay!
