I think the Head Nurse in the NICU was a Russian or other Eastern European. That's the way the NICU bundled 'em and the way it's done in Eastern Europe, especially Russia. They actually are bundled much more loosely and they generally have at least one arm out of the bundle. The Russians even bundle their heads, leaving only their little faces showing.
Such frustration for the little ones. Gotta learn about hands and fingers.
