A cute photo of a father and son cuddling newborn babies to their bare chests has sparked a conversation online about the benefits of skin-to-skin contact.
The photo, which shows a Danish father and his eldest son holding the newest additions to their family, was posted on the NINO birth Facebook page, has been shared on social media over 22,000 times.
The caption of the image reads "Skin to Skin Contact is not "new", but Sweden certainly leads the way in making this care family -friendly even for very tiny babies."
The caption goes on to discuss how in Swedish hospitals, premature babies are taken out of the incubator as often as possible, to allow skin-to-skin contact with their parents.
