Baby Cuddling Program
Making a Difference for Vulnerable Infants
Some babies in our care lack family support and need extra comfort. Nurses are often unable to provide the extended physical contact these infants require—this is where Baby Cuddling Volunteers step in.
Why It Matters
- Helps stabilise heart rate and breathing
- Supports brain development through oxytocin release
- Improves sleep, reduces crying, and fosters security
Your care provides warmth, safety, and connection—laying the foundation for healthy growth and trusting relationships.
Join Us Become a Baby Cuddling Volunteer and help give every baby the comfort they deserve.
