NICU Leave: A New Family Leave Standard
Description
Parents of NICU babies advocate for dedicated leave policies, as current laws force them to use limited parental leave for when the child comes home. Colorado and Illinois have implemented NICU leave, and advocates are pushing for a federal bill. The emotional toll on parents is significant, but the presence of parents in the NICU benefits the babys health. Discussions are ongoing to build bipartisan support for federal legislation, aiming to make NICU leave a recognized part of family leave.
