3:01Now PlayingHis only job is to cuddle babies.
When Paul Looney’s grandson was born eight years ago, the newborn spent three days in the neonatal intensive care unit of a St. Louis hospital.
Looney noticed people rocking some of the babies. He found out the “cuddlers,” as they were called, were volunteers.
