This is the heartwarming moment a three-year-old girl beams with pride as she meets her 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 sister for the very first time in hospital.

During the footage, which has since received more than 27,000 on social media, older sister Molly, from Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, cradles her new𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 sister Cora tightly in her arms and can’t take her eyes off the new bundle of joy.

As the toddler gently pats the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦’s head and offers her multiple kisses, mother Heather Conley is heard telling her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥: ‘Be gentle.’

Knowing she must be gentle with the little 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦, Molly tells her new sister: ‘You just came out of mommy’s belly. I won’t drop you … I won’t let you go anymore.’
