Scandinavian maternity hospitals started using a novel nursing technique a few years ago. In medical, this technique is known as “skin-to-skin.”
It is primarily utilized with premature infants who warmed up by taking naps on their parents’ chests.
However, a picture of the father and his son warming their new addition to the family recently went viral. The five-year-old child visited the hospital to view his newborn siblings in order to express his support and caring.
This approach greatly benefits newborn newborns. Premature newborns weighing 1 to 1.5 kg now have a 70% survival rate, up from 30% previously.
