The Response of the Infant to the Father’s Voice in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
NICU nurses and staff can encourage a father's engagement through speaking or reading to their infant. Nursing staff can promote verbal engagement between father-infant dyads by role modeling this behavior at the bedside. NICUs can provide books for families to further encourage exposure to father's voices. Further study of premature infants at earlier chronological and adjusted ages is needed.
