Holding and talking to newborns in the hospital also helps with their language development.
Irv Williams first got to know the NICU, or neonatal intensive care unit, eight years ago when his grandson needed to spend time there as a newborn.
“People might think it’s nutty to be reading to a newborn baby, but it helps with language skills. The environment they’re in is different than home. They’re not hearing voices — they’re hearing beeping machines,” Williams says. “This is a continuation of my career,” says Williams, who has been a NICU cuddler for about four years.
