For many parents, the arrival of baby comes with certain expectations and plans as to how labour and birth will take place. Unfortunately, the reality for many parents is far from their expectation – particularly so when your infant becomes a NICU patient. On this episode of With You in the NICU, host and preemie mom, Jenna Morton, talks about dealing with the unexpected challenges of birth with Dr. Sarah Hardy Walsh, a qualified naturopathic doctor and lactation consultant in New Brunswick, who focuses on women's and children's health.

With You in the NICU is a podcast for those that care for infants in a neonatal intensive care unit. The discussions are geared toward parents of preemies, but will resonate with anyone spending time beside a NICU isolette. With You in the NICU is a project of the Canadian Premature Babies Foundation, with funding from presenting sponsor Medela and support from AbbVie and Prolacta. The podcast's host and producer is Jenna Morton; technical producer is Tosh Taylor.
