As a mom of a 33 weeker I felt every momoment of this video and cried all the way through. A true miracle! Kangaroo care is important but sadly was not enforced enough at our hospital. Not for lack of trying. I had an emergency c-section and couldn’t touch her for two days, but still dream of birthing a baby that will get put right on my chest. Healthy with no NICU stay.
