AB The  wave  of  complementary/alternative  care  sweeping  the  country  has  virtually  bypassed  neonatal  intensive  care  units  (NICUs).  However,  if  we  listen,  we  find  families  asking  for  complements  to  traditional  care  in  many  aspects  of  medicine.  The  consciousness  that  patients  wanted  around  their  deathbeds  wasn't  even  on  the  radar  screen  of  most  hospitals  when  the  hospice  movement  began.  Today,  a  new  sense  of  nurturant  care  is  struggling  to  take  shape  in  our  NICUs.  Complementary  and  alternative  medical  (CAM)  therapies  may  be  one  adjunct  to  help  soften  the  high-tech  environment  of  an  NICU  by  imbuing  the  nurturing  elements  one  would  expect  to  find  around  newborns.
