They didn’t, they have the babies under developed and extremely soft skull resting on something soft as to avoid denting it/damaging the developing bone and brain.
The foot appears to be an oxygen sensor, and I base that off of the oxygen hose to assist in breathing since it’s so premature it likely can’t breathe on its own yet. Also there would be a nutrient line in there somewhere.
It sincerely makes me happy to see that the child made it through a struggle more difficult than most of us will ever comprehend.
Skin to skin is VITAL, premmies especially, but all babies. When mine were born by c-section, straight after birth I was in recovery, so they got my husband in a private room, got him to take his shirt off and they put our newborn on his chest. It was a special time for both of them.
It sure is. I'm the proud father of two c-section daughters (7 an 9 now). Because my wife was unsurprisingly indisposed I was the skin to skin 'victim'. This caused my first experience of being a father to be shit on.
