Hospital to once again welcome Super Bowl babies

One local hospital will again use the biggest day in North American sports to welcome its newborns.

Windsor Regional Hospital will, for the fifth year in a row, use Super Bowl Sunday to offer custom-made "football cocoons" to any babies born on Sunday.

The knitted football wraps, complete with a matching cap, will be created by Fae Gillespie, president of the Windsor Regional Hospital Auxiliary, according to Steve Erwin, the hospital's vice-president of corporate communications.

Erwin said even though the hospital does not know how many, if any, babies will be born on Sunday, families with a new arrival will be invited to a photo session Sunday afternoon before Super Bowl LIII begins in Atlanta between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams.
