Melania Trump is visiting a Boston hospital's cuddling program that aims to help infants born dependent on drugs or alcohol.

The first lady's stop Wednesday at Boston Medical Center is part of her "Be Best" initiative.

The hospital developed the program to nurture babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome. The hospital also works with expectant mothers who misuse drugs or alcohol.
