On Thursday afternoons, Dina McGovern is usually tucked in a corner of the neonatal intensive care unit at Toronto’s St. Michael’s Hospital, humming a nursery rhyme and cuddling a baby.

The 76-year-old retired lactation consultant and grandmother of five quips she’s not much of a singer, but she likes to croon melodies for the babies she snuggles through a hospital volunteer program.
