UTHealth Neonatology retweeted
A Houston dad made history as the first father in Texas to hold his premature baby skin-to-skin using a groundbreaking wearable incubator called a ‘Skincubator,’ according to hospital officials.
The device allows critically fragile newborns to remain connected to essential medical equipment while also experiencing skin-to-skin contact.
