Some visuals possess such profound warmth and tenderness that they captivate us effortlessly. One such image depicts a young boy assisting his father in warming his two premature twin sisters, evoking a sense of deep connection and compassion.
Originally shared on the Danish Facebook page “Parents and Birth in Denmark” approximately three years ago, this heartwarming photo has resurfaced, garnering renewed attention and appreciation.
In recent years, Scandinavian maternity centers have adopted an innovative approach to caring for their newborns.
Known as the “skin-to-skin” method, or “Kangaroo care,” this practice involves placing premature infants in direct contact with their parents’ skin, providing them with warmth, comfort, and emotional support during a critical phase of their early development.
Research from the National Institute of Health indicates that this method effectively reduces pain and stress among preterm babies, facilitating their recovery and overall well-being.
The impact of this approach has been profound, with Scandinavian maternity centers reporting a significant increase in the survival rate of premature infants, from 30% to an impressive 70%.
One poignant image illustrating this method depicts a 5-year-old boy assisting his father, with one newborn nestled on the father’s chest and the other cradled tenderly by the young boy.
In this tranquil moment, all participants appear at ease, experiencing the profound benefits of this gentle and nurturing practice.
As the image continues to resonate across the internet, it serves as a poignant reminder of the power of human connection and the transformative impact of love and compassion in the earliest stages of life.
Sо I аm аt Wаlmаrt sсаnning аnd bаgging my аlmоst $300
So I am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries while the employee that wants $15 an hour “monitors” and then this happened.
Her – why are you double bagging all of your groceries?
Me – excuse me?
Her – you are wasting our bags!
Me – if you don’t likе the way I’m bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself.
Her – that’s not my job!
Me – okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that’s all right with you.
Her – why are you using two bags?!
Me – because the bags are weak and I don’t want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out.
Her – well that’s because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag then you wouldn’t need to double bag.
*10 seconds of me just staring at her.
Me – so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don’t have to double bag.
Her – exactly.
Me – so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items.
Her – no because you wouldn’t be double bagging.
*me pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching.
Me – okay so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag I’m still using two bags for these two items.
Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it’s not the same number of bags.
*me looking around at about 10 other customers who at this point are enjoying the show.
Me- is this likе that Common Core math stuff I keep hearing about?
Her- never mind you just don’t get it.
And with that, she went back to her little Podium so she could continue texting or playing games on her phone or whatever it was she was doing before she decided to come over and critique my bagging skiIIs.
