Create Your Own Milestone Card

Every NICU journey is different. If your baby's milestone isn't in the list above, create your own — type the moment in your own words, choose your colour, and make it yours.

Celebrate Every NICU Milestone

Premature babies reach milestones that full-term babies never have to — and every single one deserves to be celebrated. The first time dressed, the first full feed, the first time off oxygen. These moments are huge, and they deserve to be shared.

These free NICU milestone cards were created by Simply Preemie, founded by Rachael — mum to Theo, born at 28 weeks and home after 101 days in the NICU in Manchester. Rachael wanted to give every NICU family a way to mark these moments and share them with the people who matter most.

How to Share Your Milestone Card

On mobile, tap Share and your card will open directly in your device's share menu — choose Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook or save to your camera roll. On desktop, download in the right format for Instagram or Facebook. Tag @simplypreemie and use #NICULife so Rachael and the Simply Preemie community can celebrate with you.

More Free Tools for NICU Parents

If your baby is coming home from the NICU, you can also create a free NICU homecoming certificate — personalised with your baby's name, dates and number of days in the NICU. Our premature baby calculators include a size finder and corrected age calculator to help you navigate the early months.

This tool is part of our premature baby care knowledge hub. You can also read Theo's story to understand the experience behind Simply Preemie.

These tools are provided free of charge by Simply Preemie. Cards are for personal and social media use only.
