BALTIMORE — Halloween in the NICU means celebrating the tiniest patients in the style.
The University of Maryland Children's Hospital shared pictures of some of the babies in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) dressed to impress Monday.
The hospital dresses the NICU patients up every year, this time with an extra (extra) special treat with newborn triplets appearing as Batman, Robin and Superman. Alongside those superheroes, other patients were dressed as a pumpkin, a policeman, a fairy and a ladybug.
The University of Maryland Children’s Hospital is one of the top neonatal intensive care units in the Mid-Atlantic states. The staff doesn't require capes or costumes, as they are the true superheroes dedicated to giving the highest level of care to the most vulnerable babies fighting to overcome life-threatening challenges.
The hospital shared pictures of all the costumed infants ahead of Halloween:
