Love Magic Works Free love spells that work fast
Have you ever heard of crocheted octopuses, usually given to premature babies in NICUs? Much more than a “pretty little toy”, it has been seen as something playful, as it is believed that its tentacles refer to the umbilical cord, thus bringing more comfort and safety to the child. Not by chance, it has also been called the “octopus of love”.
The idea came up in Denmark in 2013, but today octopus is successful all over the world, including here in Brazil, where they have been created in different sizes, shapes and colors, not only for premature babies, but also for children. of different ages.
Crochet octopus: what is it for
Although there is no scientific proof, many hospitals have embraced the idea of giving the crocheted octopus to premature babies. This is because the shape of the animal (especially its tentacles) would resemble the umbilical cord, which provides more comfort and security for the baby, who thus tends to develop faster to leave the ICU.
The subject still divides opinions, but many parents and health professionals report that using crochet octopus soothes little ones and significantly helps their recovery.
But it is worth noting that, although there are several positive reports, there is no scientific evidence about the effectiveness of crochet octopus as a “therapy for premature babies”.
The octopus should be seen as a playful toy, something that adds to the recovery of the little ones, but it can never replace established practices such as breastfeeding, the kangaroo method, the presence of parents in the ICU, among others guided by the responsible professionals.
In addition, although today the crochet octopus is made in different versions, the ideal is that it follows the rules of the original project, the Octo, especially if the intention is to deliver it to premature babies.
In any case, even though it is intended for older babies, it is essential that the octopus does not lose its essence: which is to be a safe and pleasant instrument for children.
