Kansas City Hospital Takes “Baby Shark Week” to the Next Level

By now, thereâs not a parent alive who doesnât loathe Baby Shark and the way it wedges itself into your brain and takes up permanent residency. But even those with open disdain for all things Baby Shark would have to grant a pass to a Kansas City hospital who have taken the âBaby Shark Weekâ concept to the next level.
Like the best internet crazes, itâs not too complicated. Baby Shark is a thing, Shark Week is also a thing, so by turning the newborns on your maternity floor into âBaby Sharksâ during Shark Week, and well, there ya have it, âBaby Shark Week.â And itâs pretty dang cute.
St. Lukeâs Hospital North in Kansas City, Missouri embraced the âBaby Shark Weekâ concept because one of the physicians there loves shark week (only one???). A group of nurses came together to carefully make the shark costumes they paired with the adorable onesies and the rest is doo, doo, doo.
One nurse told Good Morning America that they wanted to give families a great experience to help relieve some of the stress of delivering a baby during a pandemic. She said the parents loved the Baby Shark week photoshoot, and it looks like the hospital is going to make it an annual tradition.
Thatâs something we can get behind, embracing Baby Shark only once a year.
