What Is A CuddleCot™

We were blessed with extended time with our daughter after delivery by the availability of a CuddleCot™, donated to the Hospital partially through Ashlie's Embrace. As we move forward, we hope to ensure that more families are able to have extended time with their little one, should they have to go through this.
