With few exceptions, Halloween has become a universal holiday celebrated by almost everyone – not only here, but around the world.
So just because you happen to be one of those who made a point to arrive too early and found yourself in a Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU), doesn’t mean you couldn’t join in the fun.
It’s become a very common tradition to dress-up the preemies in cute costumes. Many NICUs organize costume craft parties for parents and nurses to engage their creativity. Parkland Hospital NICU in Dallas has special education students involved in creating the little one’s ensembles.
When I first started researching for this post, I had NO idea I would find as many different outfits as I did. And even the ones with the same themes were interpreted a bit different.
It kinda got away from me, but not wanting to leave out too many, I decided I’d put them into GIFs. I’ll start with one-offs and then move to similar ideas and close with favorites.
