The incredible toy transforming the lives of premature babies

When born prematurely, babies are extremely vulnerable and often too fragile to be held and touched by their parents in the first days, and even weeks, of their lives.

The tiny bubs can often spend months in the NICU surrounded by tubes, chords and machines - with little source of comfort.

Now, with the help of Sydney mother Nitasha Mishra, premmie babies around the world are being given tiny crocheted octopuses and they're making an incredible impact.
