Number of NICUs
Would be helpful to have a list of the NICUs in the US similar to the list of Children's Hospitals in its Wikipedia article Melisse May (talk) 22:11, 29 May 2013 (UTC)Melisse_May

History
The current article states that newborn babies were displayed in public while in incubators until 1931. It continued quite a few years after that. In 1933 and 1934, premature infants were taken from mothers by the Chicago Health Department and displayed in incubators at the Chicago World's Fair in a large exhibit operated by Dr Martin Couney. Visitors were charged 25 cents to view the babies. Again babies were publicly displayed at the New York World's Fair in 1939. Dr Couney displayed babies in incubators all over the world.

Where was the first NICU?
Speaking of history, I notice this recent edit has changed the "world's first" NICU from Vanderbilt to Yale-New Haven. It would be very interesting to see supporting references. So far I've only found Design for Pediatric and Neonatal Critical Care. Basie (talk) 23:04, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

History
, I've reverted or redacted most of your recent edits to this article, and I wanted to explain why. Since you do have a conflict of interest, I'd consider it a courtesy if you'd discuss any further additions to the article here first. Working where you do, you could be a very valuable source of information! Cheers, Basie (talk) 10:07, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Your IP address traces back to Yale-New Haven Hospital, and your edits were crediting that institution with a major historical achievement. I think you're correct, but you have a conflict of interest, so you should really state this when editing the article. Please read the linked document for details.
 * 2) The material you added was largely cut and paste from http://www.neonatology.org/classics/nic.nih1985.pdf and http://static.abbottnutrition.com/cms-prod/anhi.org/img/Nurse%20Currents%20NICU%20History%20June%202010.pdf. These are interesting sources, but we can't just copy from them: we either paraphrase and cite them as sources, or establish that they have a compatible license/have been donated to Wikipedia. See WP:CV for details.
 * 3) It's far too much to use in the lead section of the article. I think we should definitely look at adding a paragraph to the History section though. I'll look at doing so over the next week.
