The ratio was 1:5 I think. At one point I had twin 2 month olds, a 6 month old, and two 10 month olds BY MYSELF. That was a blast. </p> <p>It was before we started TTC and it cured baby fever for a little while haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-youdo-you-work-in-the-pregnancy-or-baby-field#post-137585 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:47:27 +0000 MsLipGloss 137585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was part of the *cuddle corps* . . . we had a lot of families who could not stay at the hospital for the weeks/ months during which their baby was in the NICU. So, to provide more human contact for the LOs, volunteers were assigned to babies to feed them at specific times during certain days. It was awesome. And sometimes heartbreaking, but mostly it was awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-youdo-you-work-in-the-pregnancy-or-baby-field#post-137361 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:59:31 +0000 heffalump 137361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: neat, what did you do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-youdo-you-work-in-the-pregnancy-or-baby-field#post-137359 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:58:34 +0000 Alivoo01 137359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-youdo-you-work-in-the-pregnancy-or-baby-field#post-137196 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:27:47 +0000 MsLipGloss 137196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first volunteer job was in a NICU. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-youdo-you-work-in-the-pregnancy-or-baby-field#post-137188 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 13:23:37 +0000 Mrs.M57 137188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an occupational therapist and work in home with babies 0-3, so I'm around babies pretty frequently! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-youdo-you-work-in-the-pregnancy-or-baby-field#post-137048 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:16:36 +0000 Boogs 137048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I worked with elementary aged kids before LO was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-youdo-you-work-in-the-pregnancy-or-baby-field#post-137045 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:15:03 +0000 chopsuey 137045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to volunteer at a pregnancy resource center. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-youdo-you-work-in-the-pregnancy-or-baby-field#post-137026 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 12:10:03 +0000 heffalump 137026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During summer in college one year I did medical records for an OB's office.
