Christmas cheer is alive at the Cherese Mari Laulhere BirthCare Center<\/a> at Miller Children\u2019s & Women\u2019s Hospital<\/a> with newborn babies being sent home in commemorative giant, red holiday stockings \u2014 as the ultimate stocking stuffer \u2013 a tradition that\u2019s brightened the season for more than six decades. The stockings are given to babies born between Friday, Dec. 22 and Tuesday, Dec. 26, and serve as a special keepsake for the family.<\/p>\n

In a holiday parade of joy, nurses donning Santa hats, festive headbands, and glowing light-up necklaces, and families wheeled a dozen bassinets into the nursery, each newborn nestled in an oversized red stocking. Families gathered to capture their newborn\u2019s first holiday photos, turning a simple keepsake into a cherished memory.<\/p>\n

For one family in particular this holiday experience was one that they will never forget.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur daughter, Fernanda, arrived a couple of days earlier than we expected, but the care team made it such a great experience and so easy,\u201d said Fernando Hernandez, father of Fernanda. \u201cTheir compassion, constant support and the fun holiday activity of placing the newborns in giant red stockings made her arrival even more special and truly unforgettable for our family.\u201d<\/p>\n
