I have seen many babies. I worked in a hospital nursery for over five years. I can honestly say that I have never seen an ugly baby. I’ve seen startled babies, as nursery staff attempt to get that perfect picture minutes before a sleepy baby goes home, but ugly? – No. Not the tiny premature babies or the large record-breaking babies. Different – yes. Healthy – yes. Vulnerable – yes. Seriously ill – yes. Ugly – no. Each baby was unique, and the babies that stayed longer due to illness grew more beautiful each day. How is it that we all seem to have an understanding about what defines an ugly baby?
