In one study, it is reported that mothers of NICU moms generally have a hard time forming a bond with their baby due to the separation at the time of delivery. The occurrence of this problem should not come as a shock, because in the NICU, a mother’s baby may need to be immediately taken from her in an effort to save its life.…
