Have you heard of the “Mother-Baby dyad” or as some midwives lovingly say “MamaBaby” ?

Mothers & their babies are deeply bonded while those sweet little babies are in utero, & when they’ve just been born. This is why many home birth midwives (& I’m sure some progressive hospital providers) will attempt to resuscitate babies on their mother’s chests whenever possible. Babies know their mamas & their vital signs generally improve when they’re with them. And mamas know their babies.

What a beautiful part of God’s design🥹🥲 I sure love mamas & babies💕

The Jada is such a cool tool! I’ve seen it in action & wow. Amazing!

My ideal apron tbh

The Nurse and Her “Baby Apron” 👶🔥
In 1968, nurse Vera Leonard came up with a radical idea: a special apron with six pockets — each big enough to carry a baby.
Her plan? In case of a hospital fire, she could scoop up six newborns at once and rush them to safety. 🚨
It wasn’t a joke — it was a real emergency design. Though it never became standard gear, the photo spread worldwide, long before the internet existed… and it still stirs reactions today.
A mix of ingenuity, courage, and a mother’s instinct — wrapped into one unforgettable image. ❤️
