Glenn and I both got to experience
Kangaroo care for the first time this weekend with Eliza. It was the first we got to hold her and it was magic! For Kangaroo care the baby is placed on the parents chest skin to skin. It helps to regulate babies temperature, breathing and encourages bonding among other things - all being positive. :) This couldnt have happened at a better time. We were all feeling very rough after the tragedy of losing Charlotte and Eliza's nurse knew exactly what we needed. Thank you Marie!
I got to hold her on Saturday and Glenn took pictures. There is a minimum time requirement of 1 hour for Kangaroo care since it uses up a lot of the babies energy to be moved from the isolette and get settled in. As long as the baby is tolerating it ok there isn't a maximum time limit. I am looking forward to spending many hours hanging out with Eliza!
And it was Glenn's turn on Sunday.
What a blessing at the most perfect time. There is nothing like holding your child, do it as often as they will let you :) Love you!
