BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — The Labor and Delivery department at Memorial Hospital in Bakersfield have been delivering babies of patients as well as their own.

On a Facebook post, the hospital shared wonderful photos of its nurses holding their sweet babies.

What's absolutely adorable, is that there are 4 more babies on the way!

In the post, the hospital wrote:

Our Labor and Delivery department has given a new meaning to being “Baby Friendly.” 👶🏻 In a matter of 14 months, 12 nurses have delivered babies of their own and 4 more nurses have babies on the way! That’s 16 babies who are now a part of the Dignity Health family. You could say they have some experience with #deliveringhumankindness! 🧡
