Every family’s beginning looks a little different – and for some, that journey starts earlier than expected. This Prematurity Awareness Month®, we’re proud to partner with March of Dimes® to support the families whose first moments happen in the NICU. Together, we’re sharing trusted resources and care tools to help parents feel seen, supported and never alone.
March of Dimes has spent more than 85 years improving the health of moms and babies – funding research, advocating for better care and providing hands-on guidance for families through every stage of pregnancy and beyond. Their work continues to make a difference for those navigating premature birth, helping ensure every baby gets the healthiest start possible.
Below, you’ll find a collection of helpful articles and support resources from March of Dimes, curated especially for parents and caregivers of preemies. Whether you’re seeking medical information, emotional support or connection with other families, these resources are here for you.

Carter’s also knows firsthand how impactful it is to be able to dress your new baby. It’s all about that powerful moment of normalcy. We partnered with NICU nurses to design a Preemie Collection with the utmost attention to detail and functionality. Our preemie bodysuits, vests, gowns and caps allow for monitors, tubes, x-rays and those critical skin-to-skin moments, giving NICU parents one less thing to think about. Browse the full line here.
