be there for the premature babies is where I step in to provide that human experience.

Here are a few of the benefits cuddling provides to the infants:

• Babies experience the world through tough which is the beginnings of the

development of human communication

• Baby relaxes, and breaths deeper allow blood pressure to normalize

• It impacts the development of the infant’s brain

• Help to facilitate infants

development both socially and

physically

• Helps bring arms and legs midline

facilitating normal growth and

development

• Better tolerance to pain, stable body

temperature and stronger vital signs

~Why is this work important to you?

I am able to impact a life within hours of birth. How crazy mind-blowing is that!! Cuddling grounds me. It is a constant reminder of the importance and that of every single individual life is special. Every life matters and it is my responsibility to be present, make connection and meet people where they are.

~If people want to learn more about possibly becoming an official Cuddler,

where would you recommend they go to find out more?

If you are interested in becoming a cuddler check with the volunteer department of your local hospitals.

~What tip or piece of advice can you share with our reader?

More than every we as women need to support each other. We cannot do this “life” thing alone and we were never called to do it alone.

1. If you are in need of something, ask for help. Get support.

2. Answer this question for yourself…What can I do today to show support to another woman? We need each other.
