This reunion couldn’t have come soon enough.

Dozens of parents and their miracle premature babies were reunited on Sunday with the nurses and doctors at Mount Sinai West’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) who helped the babies survive the rough first weeks of their lives.

“Everyone here is family to me,” said mom Shelcie Holbert. “We went through so much together.”

The 24-year-old from North Carolina was six months pregnant and on a business trip to New York in June 2018 when she gave birth to her 1-pound, 9-ounce daughter Rosalie Grace, at Mount Sinai, The Post reported at the time.

While her baby was in the NICU for three months, Holbert and her husband Jacob Wallace, an Army veteran who served two tours in Afghanistan, were housed and fed by a group of caring Upper West Side moms. Holbert still keeps in touch with at least one of the women.

Now, the former cosmetics saleswoman is in nursing school in Charlotte, NC., and hopes to come back to the city and work at Mt. Sinai.

Holbert and her now-healthy 1-year-old daughter danced around to the kiddie song “Baby Shark” at the festivities, which also included face-painting, coloring stations and even a bouncy castle.

MTA bus driver Rashad Stancil Sr., 37, dressed his “miracle baby” Rashad Stancil Jr. in a Superman costume for the event.

The tiny superhero was in the NICU with Rosalie, and their families grew close and still keep in touch, they said.

“Every time I come here, I get anxiety — my boy was only this big,” Stancil Sr. said, holding up his pinkie finger. “He had every tube in him.”

But “even though it was such a tough time, it’s great to be back and see all the doctors and nurses that helped my boy. It’s really special,” he said.
