About the Cuddle Hearts Project
Cuddle hearts are small cotton fabric hearts shared between mothers and babies and proven to have benefits for both. Babies’ senses develop in the womb and by the time they’re born, not only do they recognise their mother’s voice, but they can identify her scent. The sound of their mother and her smell are comforting and familiar to newborns and in return, mothers have a physical and hormonal reaction to the scent and sound of their baby.
