One more week we bring you the section of your baby's picture With the images of your children. For this occasion we have selected this photo of Raul, moments after birth.
I especially liked it because it portrays in an instant how wonderful it can be to reach the world and at the same time how hard it can be for a baby.
I invite you to do, with this image, an exercise in empathy. Give to play in the following player and keep reading:
Now look at the image of Raul as soon as he was born, listen to how the moans turn into tears, think of their sensations when they notice that several expert, strong and cold hands touch him, they take him, they clean him, they suck the secretions and prick him and imagine what can happen through his head, if just a few minutes, a few hours before, he was inside his mother, hearing his heart, his voice, swaying with the sway of his steps and floating in the amniotic fluid. How hard it must be for a baby to reach our world and how little we think about it.
Now Raúl is a happy, cheerful and playful child He has long conversations with his parents who, despite not understanding his words, do understand that the toothless smile he dedicates to them every day is a way of telling them that he loves them just like them.
We thank his father, Raul, for allowing us to publish this image and for explaining to us how expected his son became and how much love they feel for him. Take this opportunity to remember that parents who want to have the opportunity to see a picture of their baby in "Babies and more" can upload the images in our group on Flickr.
