God must have big plans for him. BTW, our son was also the largest but not the sickest. It's a tough experience, isn't it? Thank you for sharing. Karen, it really is a good idea. Janet, great to see you here! I don't know who it will benefit more, the babies or the parents. Sure wish we'd had it back in the day. Carol, I’m so glad your son came through ok!

It would help so much with attachment and bonding in those poor babies in NICU! A GREAT idea. It would help so much with attachment and bonding in those poor babies in NICU!

Alexander Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:19:34 +0000 http://barbarafrankonline.com/blog.php/?p=880#comment-2036 Hi Barbara, This article made me cry. My fourth baby was also in NICU for 8 days from aspirating meconium. He was the largest baby in the unit and the sickest. After 24 hours the doctor asked my husband, "Do you believe in prayer? There is nothing more I can do for your son." They would not let me hold him for about 5 days. It was heart wrenching for me to watch other moms come in and cuddle with their babies and all I could do was look. Today...he's 15 years old, almost 6 feet tall, and healthier than any of us! Praise God for all the science and all the prayer that brought him through, but how I wish I had Kangaroo care, too. I will definitely pass this along. Blessings, Carol Hi Barbara,
