It's basically an article about a set of twins were born at 27 weeks and the little boy was pronounced dead. The mother was given the little boy to say good bye and she took off her robe and had skin to skin contact with him for two hours and he took a breath which the doctors said was just a reflex, the mother fed him a bit of breast milk from her finger and he started breathing on his own-he's now 5 months old! x

This was amazing, the photos were a little graphic (made me cry just looking at their faces) but it just shows how we as mothers are equiped with the skills to protect our children from day 1.

He looked proper bonny later on down the artical as well!

I saw this on the news the other night and had Cahal sleeping in my arms and omg I sobbed my heart out the pictures of them crying first with grief then with joy just set me off and I couldn't stop! OH came in to see what was wrong and I couldn't even get the words out. such a beautiful story! Hopefully the medical profession will take note!

I just wonder who could have taken a picture of them having such a personal goodbye cuddle like that, must have been a family member
