NC hospital needs volunteers to snuggle newborn babies
Read full article: NC hospital needs volunteers to snuggle newborn babiesThat's why Raleigh's UNC-Rex Birth Center NICU is seeking volunteer cuddlers. "It's a huge stress reliever," said Jennifer Majure, who sometimes has to leave her 2-month-old son Wilder with volunteer cuddlers. While Ready cuddles newborns such as 2-week-old Kamani, it allows mom Cecelia Williams to snuggle Kamani's twin brother Kamari. Cuddlers like Ready have improved the care provided to patients and their families at UNC-Rex, the hospital says. It started a trial program for volunteer cuddlers a little more than a year ago, and due to its success, they are hoping to expand.
