For new NICU mommies

All the intros/help from outside the NICU posts today made me think its time to repost this topic. I'll try to remember to repost periodically.

So....what are the resources, suggestions, advice, etc that you have for people who are starting their journeys through the NICU? 

 

Some of the resources from the last post (sorry if I missed some!)
