For the nurse who held your baby first

Many orders come from NICU parents in the weeks after bringing their baby home, still thinking about the nurse who held their little one through the hardest days. Her coworkers, husband and mom order it too, people who hear about every ounce a preemie gains.

How the NICU nurse tshirt is laid out

In the sample, a nurse in scrubs rests a swaddled, sleeping newborn against her cheek, her own eyes closed and her hair tied back. NICU is printed above in clean white capitals, and NURSE fills the bottom line in larger white letters.

We convert every picture to grayscale and center it between the two words, which gives it the quiet look of a retro photo gift.

Which photos can I send?

If you’re the parent, a picture of her holding your own baby is perfect. Otherwise, a warm portrait of her in scrubs or out of them works well. Please don’t send photos showing other families’ babies unless those parents agreed.

Clear light and an uncropped face are what make it print sharp.

Ordering in four steps

1. Choose tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie, plus her size.
2. Select the shirt color.
3. Upload your photo and add any crop request in the text box. Our sample nurse is replaced by your picture.
4. Check out. Completed example: her holding your son on his last day in the unit, note “keep the blanket, crop at her shoulders.”

For the nurse who held your baby before you could

• A thank-you card feels too small for weeks of care
• NICU nurse shirts online tend to be cartoon babies and pacifiers
• She rarely sees the families again once they leave the unit

NICU nurses hold other people’s babies through the longest weeks of their lives. Her photo, maybe cradling a sleeping newborn, sits centered in grayscale between NICU and a larger NURSE in clean white letters.
