It’s a story that will warm your heart, with some cuddles. 

Bob McElwain, is part of a NICU Cuddlers Program.

A group of volunteers at St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, one of the largest faith-based care hospitals in the region, cuddle and talk to the infants.

His service helps the new parents- who can use some rest while their babies spend months at the hospital. 

McElwain spends up to 3 hours cuddling NICU babies and sometimes that’s just one baby during that entire time.
