The adorable outfits featured a brown knit hat with a set of eyes, an orange beak and colorful feathers, as well as a brown knit bottom with feathers attached on the back.
According to Ransier, dressing their young patients up in costumes during the holidays has become an ongoing tradition at the hospital.
Shonda Ridley, a nurse in the woman and infant unit, echoed her coworker’s sentiments
“I’ve been caring for our families and babies at Riverside for over 30 years,” Ridley said in a statement. “Over that time we’ve welcomed little bundles of joy in different ways, but nothing has made our families and our team more excited for the holidays than dressing our babies up, and so we’ve kept the tradition.”
“We love to get creative with festive onesies and costumes,” Ridley continued. “Even our volunteers have gotten involved in the fun and have knitted hats, costumes, and even made little stockings to putthe babies in on Christmas.”
“As a long-time Riverside nurse, it’s become one of my favorite traditions,” she added. “And, one I think helps new team members immediately feel part of the team, as it’s incredibly fulfilling to help our families start their new beginning and celebrate their first holiday together. We’re beyond grateful for the opportunity to be a part of that moment.”
Ina post on Facebook, Riverside Regional Medical Center, which first shared their story withGood Morning America, said they were extra thankful this year for those five babies.
“There is plenty to be thankful for this year, including these little turkeys who arrived just in time for the holiday!” they wrote in their post. “Our tiniest patients got into the holiday spirit to wish you a happy Thanksgiving. A special thank you to the nurses at Riverside Regional Medical Center for making this holiday extra special for these little ones and their parents.”
