Nurse Puts Dying Baby Next To Her Twin. She Gives Her A ‘Hug’ That Leads To A Miracle

Throughout history, humans have dreamed of magical things, like how love protected Harry Potter. The power of love and human touch is not just fantasy; it’s used in medicine too. In 1995, a premature baby in the US was saved through skin-to-skin contact, known as ‘Kangaroo Care.’

Twins Kyrie and Brielle were born 12 weeks premature, weighing just 2 pounds. Brielle’s condition worsened, but nurse Gayle Kasparian tried something new: she placed Kyrie in the same incubator as Brielle for skin-to-skin contact. Miraculously, Brielle’s breathing and vital signs improved.

This groundbreaking technique, once unthinkable in the US, is now used for babies as young as 23 weeks old. The twins grew up healthy and share a close bond, often finishing each other’s sentences.
