Huggies Brand Launches “No Baby Unhugged” to Ensure Babies Get the Hugs They Need to Help Them Thrive
Parents have been instinctively hugging their babies since the beginning of time, but research shows that this natural act can do more than calm a cry or soothe some stress. Hugs can help keep a baby’s heart beating at a normal rate, improve sleep and support healthy weight gain, according to a recent Huggies study titled “The Power of Human Touch for Babies.”

Toilets Change Lives Expands to India
Naina aged 13, no longer has to wait for 8 hours to reach home before she can use a clean, safe toilet and does not miss school during her periods any more. Bhaskar, having stumbled over broken tiles and pot holes would shamefully resort to using the shrubs outside his school. Not anymore, because his school toilet is now repaired and well lit-up. Naina and Bhaskar both study in government schools where children suffered innumerable difficulties and indignities in not being able to access safe and clean toilets.
