Hospitals across the U.S. are setting up so-called "babycams" so that parents and other loved ones can see newborn babies from afar.
At least eight domestic hospitals have installed such systems, and several dozen others are testing trial setups.
The importance of feeling close to babies -- for the babies as well as their parents -- has transformed newborn intensive care units around the country. Instead of brief visiting hours, for instance, many allow parents 24-hour access.
