RALEIGH, N.C. -- UNC Rex is looking for cuddlers!

The birthing center at the hospital needs volunteers to cuddle newborn babies in the neo-natal intensive care unit. Doctors say cuddling the newborns while they are staying in the intensive care unit not only helps the baby, but helps parents struggling with the changes.

To be a volunteer, you have to complete a drug screening, health assessment, and an orientation session. Volunteers can spend up to four hours a week at the hospital.
