We are so excited to offer this Long Side Snap Dress for the little Tiny (2-4lbs) dress. It is perfect for the NICU or for the little one ready to go home. This dress is made from a very soft crinkled cotton knit and is trimmed with a matching heart print rib.

The side snap shirt works wonderfully well for easy dressing, just open it up, lay down baby and snap a couple of snaps on each side. This gives easy access in the NICU or at home.

A cute little side tie cap is included.

Currently available in Tiny (2-4lbs) size only. The gown measures 16″ from shoulders in bottom hem and 6″ across at the underarms. It is made a little bit on the longer side for extra growing room.

100% Cotton, Machine Wash. Made in the USA

I read this article today, and thought it was so inspiring I wanted to share it with you. Many of us have been touched by the work that incredible Doctors do in the NICU. Well, here is one of the pioneers in the field and he has been at it for 50 years!  He has helped save the lives of 30,000 babies and is the Co-founder of the California Perinatal Association. I am sure that if his accomplishments were to be listed they would go on page after page, since Professor Emeritus Phillip Sunshine MD started his journey back in 1957!!!

The best statistic is that when he started his career, the preemie survival rate was less than 50%, now it is well over 90%, just another fact to celebrate!

Click on the above link (just under the title) to read the complete article about Dr. Sunshine and you’ll see how appropriate his last name is…
