Melania Trump visited a Boston hospital where cuddles are the first line of defense in treating opioid-addicted babies.
Melania Trump spent part of Wednesday visiting the Boston Medical Center’s CALM program, which offers cuddles to newborn babies experiencing withdrawal symptoms from in-utero exposure to drugs.
On the trip — part of Trump’s Be Best campaign, which targets opioid abuse — the first lady visited with babies who suffer from neonatal abstinence syndrome to learn how loving physical touch helps treat symptoms. Looking forward to visiting @The_BMC tomorrow w/ @SecAzar to learn more about the compassionate natal care & support given to mothers & babies w/ NAS. #BeBest
A representative for Boston Medical Center was not immediately available for comment when reached by Yahoo Lifestyle. Oxytocin plays an important role in the baby-mother relationship, including with pregnancy and childbirth. A 2007 small study published in the journal Psychological Science showed that women with higher levels of plasma oxytocin throughout pregnancy and during the postpartum period exhibited more “exclusive” behaviors, such as singing to the infants, bathing and feeding in specific ways, and concern for the child’s safety.
