Spending time with your baby after they’re born can be a precious time to create special memories and help you grieve. It’s entirely up to you whether you wish to do so. You’ll be given some quiet time with your baby if this is what you want.

The water method can be applied to deceased babies of any ɢᴇsᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ age. Of course, it offeгѕ the greatest benefits to young babies, when the skin is most ꜰʀᴀɢɪʟᴇ.
