Wtf?? You think parents will just let you walk in and hold their baby?[/quote]

NP here. Yeah. There are volunteers at major hospitals in DC and elsewhere who are allowed to do this.

Most parents have to go back to work while their child is in the NICU for an extended stay. [/quote]

I just saw a video about this.  Some hospitals have volunteer programs so that someone can hold the babies in the NICU during the day.  Parents may have to return to work, they may have other kids to take care of, they may live too far away from the hospital, etc.  So older people come in and hold the babies.  I think it's great!  It's nice for the older people, and the babies get more snuggles.  [/quote]

Hospitals have an oversupply of volunteers wanting to hold babies. Many, if not all, now limit this opportunity to volunteers they know well and have carefully vetted, for obvious reasons. It often requires more than a year of volunteering regularly to even be considered. This is NOT a reason to have children because your mom wants them.[/quote]
