I was amazed at how soon I could pick up my baby after her 4 heart surgeries. Obviously, it was a bum scoop as opposed to picking her up under the arms (never had that luxury), and she was medicated, but literally 3-5 days after surgeries, we're back to having skin-skin. Maybe it's because their bones aren't as strong as an adults and there's more flex, but still, really took me by surprise. Even hours after surgeries, her diaper/nappy needed to be changed, so the nurses/I/we would carefully do it, but it was really eye-opening considering she just had major open heart surgery.
