Dear Pat, I Remember That story- also the other one about the little boy (fairly young about 4or5 yrs), visiting NICU, [who used to talk to his baby sister in Utero] [on hearing his baby sister was so ill may die,] said he wanted to see, talk and sing to her and after some fight with the establishment, he was allowed to go and see and touch his dying sister, He sang and talked to her, ---she started, from that day to pick up and he literally got on fighting an infection or similar and she lived healthy since! Miracles happen with touch and feel and voice in NICU I Know from my experences too! We co-slept a set of twins that had returned from Melbourne and the desention it caused with some staff members was so biggoted and unbeliable! the Mum actually brought in info with her from Melbourne Hospital about it but they didn't read it! it couldn't work! It put they out caring for them both in the same isolette! or cot! etc etc. I did it as they both settled so beautifully and after getting permission from the pead wrote the nursing care that way--- came back a few days later to find them in separate cots and a very angry Mum and what had I done to change Hospital rules so drastically ----One baby one cot!!! BLAH! BLAH! I asked if they has not shared the womb BUT this was different!!!!! One wonders!!!! Wish I had taken photos of them sleeping with arms around the other or holding the other ear shoulder etc! Kangaroo care was met with the same brick wall here, so am going around showing various people in the staff that might be receptive the videos!!!! Hope it gets in that way---- I hate the wrap the baby tight so as no arms to feed- """Attach better forced on"" mob!!!----not no hands and watch and Position and Bub and Mum do it themselves to build mum's self esteem up! Am I getting to old and Picky----???? Our Lact Con is currently throwing out 'all Pretty plastic Bottles', we store ebm in or Formula storage for those who don't feed by Breast, as she doesn't 'like the commercializing on the sides'-----.!!!!! Tomy, Avent, and so on are Brand names nothing more after than Pics. Sent Kangaroo Mother care material to Pakistan to contacts there! Regards, Robyn Robyn J Aulmann, P.O.

One was dying and there just wasn't anything to do, a nurse in desperation put them together in an incubator. The twin stabilized and they both survived. They had a wonderful pix of the babies sleeping together, with one baby's arm laying over the other baby!
