Postpartum Party
A Postpartum Valentine’s Party on Feb. 6 in the Lorusso Boardroom at Cape Cod Hospital brought moms and babies together for a heartwarming celebration. Families created adorable Valentine’s Day cards using tiny painted footprints —turning little toes into keepsakes filled with love. The finished creations were a sweet reminder of just how special these early moments can be. The annual event was organized by Alissa Krieger-Dewitt, RN, certified childbirth educator at The Family Birthplace, and Heather Lakatos, lactation consultant at Cape Cod Hospital.
Handmade footprint Valentines will be treasured for years to come.
