Bringing a new child into this world is one of the most tremendous blessings that a family can experience. However, complications can arise if a baby is delivered prematurely.

The tiny newborn is prone to illness and needs to be protected by a consistent temperature and receive regulated exposure to healthy bacteria. If the conditions are not just right, a premature baby may not survive long after their birth.

One of the most helpful and healthy tricks used for premature babies is skin-to-skin contact. Rather than keeping a baby inside of an incubator, providing a baby with skin-to-skin contact can keep them even healthier after birth. According to Swedish professo,r, Uwe Ewald “The parent’s chest regulates the temperature better than an incubator. Skin-to-skin contact helps the baby to breathe better. The child becomes more calm and gains weight faster. Research shows that parents’ bacterial flora – compared with hospital bacteria – reduces the risk of serious infections in these delicate children.”

So when one father welcomed his two premature twin babies into the world, he took this advice to heart. However, it was the helper by his side that surprised everyone and caused a photo of the father and his children to go viral!
