What if music could help a NICU baby regulate, connect, and heal? 🎵💛

In this episode of the Ask a NICU Mama Podcast, host Ashley O’Neil sits down with music therapist Jamie Shegogue to explore how music therapy can support neurodevelopment, bonding, and emotional well-being for babies and families in the NICU.

Together, they discuss the research behind music therapy, what it can look like at the bedside, and how caregivers can use music to create meaningful moments of connection, even in the middle of a difficult NICU journey.

This is a conversation about music, connection, healing, and finding meaningful ways to care for both babies and the people who love them.

Real stories. Hard truths. Hope.
