Resources Sheet for Neonatal Siblings
Supporting siblings during a neonatal stay can feel overwhelming, and families are often unsure where to start. We’ve gathered a selection of trusted books, apps, videos, and organisations to help brothers and sisters feel informed, included, and connected during this time.
Nell and the Neonatal App
Nell and the Neonatal Unit is an engaging and interactive app designed for pre-school and primary school-aged children (approx. 3–8 years) to help them understand the neonatal environment.
Through interactive stories, familiar sounds, and friendly explanations, the app introduces them to the equipment, staff, and different journeys babies and families may experience.
With fun and engaging games, tools to support big emotions, and thoughtful conversation starters, Nell and the Neonatal Unit helps parents and siblings connect, making the experience feel less overwhelming and more familiar.
