Kangaroo-ing

Hiding under that blanket is a miniature princess!


(*Kangaroo Care is when parents hold their baby skin-to-skin. The parent's skin temperature helps to keep the baby warm. Kangaroo Care has been proven to help babies normalize their vital signs, reduce their oxygen requirement, decrease stress and pain levels and gain weight. All of these things can lead to a quicker discharge to home. If all of this can come from cuddling with my baby, I will do it all day long!)

  1. A miniature princess or a baby kangaroo? She did do a little bouncing around there for a little while. Glad you are able to hold and be near her so close. I hope you get to cuddle all day long, every day and that the proven benefits come your way. You'll be home soon. Patience.............
