In 2025, Music in Hospitals & Care delivered over 90 hours of live music to neonatal intensive care units in the UK, reaching over 1,000 seriously ill children.1 Since 2017, the charity has run sessions called Lullaby Hour, bringing soothing tunes to babies and parents in intensive care units.1 Vicky Daborn Tedder, Impact and Insights Manager at Music in Hospitals & Care, told The BMJ that music makes a big difference and becomes a necessity, not just a small part of care.1 The charity's musicians bring songbooks from which parents can choose songs, and at the same time take requests from parents.1 The sessions create tender moments in the midst of daily challenges for both parent and child; the article gives a specific example of a couple who were pregnant on their wedding day (further details in the text of the article).1
