You're probably well aware and quickly fixed the issue after the photo was taken, but I just need to say it's a really bad idea to have ANYTHING in an infants crib that they can use to block their airways like that.

Glad to see she's doing well and hope you have good times with her once she's home!

NICU is an exception to that rule! All you need to replicate at home is vital sign alarms and 24x7 nurse care.

We had a 2 week NICU stay for our daughter earlier this year. The nurses loved putting items in the crib to make the baby happier but they always looked at me and said, “don’t do this at home!”

Congratulations on your baby!

Why is the face blacked in the picture?

Because the child can't consent to having their face permanently recorded in public social media. It's becoming a thing not to post photos of children until they can make their own decisions.
