Here’s What A Purple Butterfly On A Baby’s Crib Actually Means

If you see a purple butterfly sticker near a newborn, you need to know what it means

An exasperated new mother was trying to calm her newborn twins in the hospital when she turned to the other mother in the room, who was sitting by the crib of her only daughter. The mother shook her head and said innocently, “You’re so lucky you don’t have twins.”

It was a seemingly conversational comment, one that meant no harm – but it broke Millie Smith nonetheless.

Millie, and her partner Lewis Smith, did have twins: a little girl name Callie and her twin, Skye. But, sadly, Callie was the only of the two who survived the pregnancy. So to hear this casual comment while she was grieving for her lost child was a heart-rendering experience for Millie.
