Cameras at babies’ bedsides in B.C. neonatal intensive care unit comfort parents
When Preethi Krishnan would return home from the hospital after visiting her premature twins, she took comfort in knowing they were just a few clicks away on her laptop or phone, even in the middle of the night, thanks to web cameras installed by their bedsides.
Sudha, which means honey in Sanskrit, and Shraddha, meaning determination, would get all-day visits in the NICU from their parents as their mom was recovering from a C-section and they were getting help breathing due to their underdeveloped lungs. The emotional toll on the parents was lessened when they learned they could see their kids from home via webcam whenever they wanted to take a peek.
“That was kind of heartbreaking. I was crying,” said Krishnan, a post doctoral fellow at the University of British Columbia, where she is researching pediatric tuberculosis. “Being able to go home, log in and look at their baby, I think, reduces anxiety levels. And it also reduces that sense of guilt that many parents feel leaving their baby in the NICU just to go home, even if it’s just for dinner or for a nap.”
Another benefit of the program is thatdoctors believe mothers are able to increase their pumped breast milk supply when they see their baby on a webcam, Swartz said, adding that happens even when a new mom looks at a photo of her child.
