Intensive care of the newborn is usually unexpected, often involves emergency retrieval, is sometimes administered in life‐threatening disorders, and is always extremely anxiety‐provoking and disruptive for the families involved. All this occurs at a time when mother–infant bonding is so important. The use of a video‐recording system in these acute care situations is described, with particular case examples illustrating its value.
