A nurse made a heartwarming baby girl's heart by making an adorable ribbon hat for her baby after she gave birth.
Ruth (@ruth.ese) takes a plain pink and gray striped baby hat and transforms it into something even cuter by adding a ribbon.
The 22-year-old used scissors to cut the bottom band of the hat, then cut a slit in the bottom of the hat to display the perfect bow.
The video has been viewed 1.5 million times on TikTok, leaving social media users in awe of the nurse's creativity and thoughtfulness.
“I made a bow hat for my baby girl because she needs to know she's that girl from day one,” Ruth shared on TikTok.
The mothers commented on the video, revealing that they were unaware that hospital staff had made the hats themselves.
Mama Denham said, “Oh, I didn't know you guys made them. My daughter made them too. I still have them.”
One user said: “My sister was born prematurely and I will never forget the kind nurse who made this product for her.”
While the nurse's creation was inspirational, there is a practical reason behind the distribution of hats for newborns.
Texcare Medical, which sells a variety of medical products, says hospital hats are given to babies to conserve heat and regulate their body temperature, as the inside of the womb is much warmer than the outside world.
Destiny said, “Hearing this makes my heart so warm. I didn't know about this when my daughter gave it to me. She made three of them.”
Many mothers have revealed that they save their baby's hats and keep them in memory boxes for them to look at when their children are older.
Ruth also added, “My favorite part of labor and delivery is making handmade ribbon hats for baby girls.''
One devoted pregnant woman said she called the hospital to make sure her daughter got a special ribbon cap.
Across the pond in England, there is a grandmother who has become a hot topic for her impressive knitted works.
Student midwife Bryce spoke of her grandmother's amazing efforts to provide knitted cardigans and hats to the newborns on her ward.
