While at the NICU it is important for the mother and infant to keep close and be able to see each other to build that initial bond with one another. Due due the baby being born prematurely it raises the depression levels within the new mothers as they worry that their child is going to have severe health problems for the remainder of their lives. The mental health of the mothers is going to play a large role in their relationship growing up. If the mother develops post party depression it is going to be hard for the mother to care for her child the way she should if she is not happy with herself.
