Victoria General Hospital wants to make sure its babies get plenty of hugs.
The hospital has launched a program where volunteers will hold, rock, hug and sing to babies in the neonatal intensive care unit and the prenatal intensive care unit when their parents can't be there.
Sarah Byam is one of the specially trained volunteers in the program.
