Newborn Footprints: Identification & Keepsake Systems Explained

Hospitals do not typically use ink to print newborn babies' feet. Instead, they use a non-toxic inkless foot printing system that creates an imprint of the baby's foot onto a piece of paper. This method is used for identification purposes, and the imprint is usually taken along with the baby's footprints and handprints as a keepsake for the parents.
