A mother recalls cuddling her baby back to life

A mother who was told one of her premature twins had died at birth believes he was brought back to life through her and husband's "skin-to-skin contact".

Kate Ogg from Queensland, Australia said she "truly believed" her newborn son Jamie was dead when she was handed his unresponsive body in the delivery suite.

But while her and husband David "cocooned" him between them, he "started to move" and breathe by himself.

Kate added that it took a further two hours to "convince" the medical staff that they were seeing "living, breathing signs" from the baby.
