This year, for Spring, they had a great idea.
The newborn babies are dressed in handmade “chick” costumes, just in time for the Spring season and the upcoming Easter holiday.
The outfits were handmade, too!
Caitlin Pechin, a nurse at the hospital, hand stitched each of the chick outfits for the newborns in the hospital.
Each baby was given a handmade “Spring themed” outfit.
Each baby was gifted a chick hat and a matching “egg” swaddle to go along with it. And, the families of the babies absolutely love them!
Nurse Pechin was happy to spread the cheer.
“It’s really important to bring some cheer to our families and to the staff, especially during this hard time we’ve been having during COVID,” Pechin shared.
She also loved the idea of “chicks.”
“I think it’s really nice to see the babies dressed up in little chick outfits ’cause they’re little spring chicks. It’s just a good time of year to have a baby — it’s a time of renewal and a time for new things to happen,” she said.
The hospital shared photos of the newborns with their families.
All of the photos were taken in private rooms with the families, abiding by COVID-19 regulations from the hospital, they shared.
People on Facebook adored these.
Commented flooded in admiring how “sweet” and adorable these little outfits were for the newborns.
One mom said that she’s hoping for a themed outfit soon, too.
One mom, who is due around the fourth of July, is hoping she will also receive a “themed” cut outfit, too. This hospital sure is creative!
