Meet Doctor Who Sings to Babies as They’re Born

 

 

For the last 40 years, this Pittsburgh OB-GYN has been greeting every baby he delivered with a song. Dr. Cary Andrew-Jaja has delivered 8,000 babies and sings a special tune to each and every one of them as they exit their mom’s womb. Andrew-Jaja has even delivered multiple generations of babies. The singing doctor officially retired at the end of last month, but his legacy will continue. The City of Pittsburgh declared every May 16 to be “Jaja Day” in honor of his dedication to his patients.
