In most cases, it depends upon parents preference. Let’s keep in mind that HIPPA is a big thing and you may not want to cross that boundary. However, from personal experience I can say that some families spend weeks/months in the NICU which in returns builds a bond with the nurses and doctors. For that same reason in some cases we do have kiddos that we have known from 27 weeks gestation and up to these days.

Good morning
No.
My contact with infants is very brief as a consultant in infectious disease but I stayed in touch with many of my adult patients and families throughout the years.
Having a person or family member walk up to me years after I took care of them and say thanks is very satisfying.
