Thanks to the team at Cuski Baby for the beautiful books sent to our Neonatal Unit on Kangaroo Care Awareness Day 🙂

Today we are celebrating Kangaroo Care Day! This special kind of skin to skin contact provides so many emotional and physical benefits to babies and their parents and it is something First Touch has always been very proud to support on the NNU.

We asked, you delivered! We were in need of drawstring bags, so that our breastfeeding parents could keep their consumables together. We put a call-out & we've had hundreds of beautiful hand-made bags sent in. Thanks to all of you who so kindly took the time to do this 😊
