According to BBC Radio Leeds this discussion has escalated exponentially without all the facts. Evidently the guidance from the hospital is for the babies on the Special care Baby unit (SCBU) which is a newborn Intensive care unit. Visitors were visiting the unit and bending down to other babies as they were "cute" and mostly premature so they were small, diddy and cute. Some would even try to touch.

"Coochy coo" is the phrase adopted to sum up what the general public should not do to the other babies but really it is about upholding the rights of the baby to get better and not stopping other people from enjoying cuteness. There is a significant risk of infection for premature babies anyway without Joe public breathing/touching them...
