Preemie Tidbits

We are so excited to have some of our newest additions up on the site.  We have just added a whole group of great products from Zutano.  There fun fabrics and mix and matching is so fun.  Check them out today…

We are excited to introduce our new models. They will be helping us show the fit of the preemie (3-6lbs) size clothing.  We felt it maybe helpful to shoppers to see the fit of the garments on a baby.  It is extremely difficult to have a live model to use, so we found the next best thing. These two little guys won’t grow, so our models will be constant from fitting to fitting!  They measure 18.5″ long and have a head circumference of 13″.  They will be at the larger size of the preemie measurements.

They are shown below in Baby Vision Bodysuits, which fit them very nicely. We are looking forward to adding a Tiny (2-4lbs) model next.

We are excited to offer a new gift idea to those who are shopping for friends and family.  We call it Build a Gift, we start with the basic gift box for $2.95.  You then can add up to 6 options on the Build A Gift page.  From fooies in two sizes; to bodysuits, gowns, blankets and booties.  We will wrap it all up, cover it in plastic and shipped it off, with your hand written note attached.

Here are a few choices available, check out all 5 under our Great for Gifts Category.

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…

This design is made from one piece of fabric making it possible to have no scratchy side seams. Only $6.95 and available in 2 sizes: Tiny (2-4lbs) & Preemie (3-6lbs).

A hip little bear applique tops off the cute, but very practical side snap shirt. We have included matching plaid knit pants, knot hat and booties.

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. The sleeves have great fold over cuffs to cover those little hands.

Oh just So Cute! Is all we can say about this little Trixie Loop Swing Dress. Made from a soft cotton ribbed, this print is filled with pink, lavendar, and lime trendy flowers. The dress is trimmed with a coordinating lime, puckered knit, and matching leggings are included.

Lions, elephants, and rambunctious little zebras are running around this cute 100% cream colored cotton interlock baggette, and is trimmed in a matching blue rib. This print is perfect for the newest little preemie boy!

The long bag has a fold over bottom to keep toes warm & cozy while still providing easy access for those diaper changes. Fold over knit cuffs help to keep the hands covered and warm and their face free from scratches.

Made from soft cotton knits, the baggette is a perfect sleepwear choice.

Special Feature: The fold over bottom prevents the bag from riding up during sleeping, yet still giving great access. This is a better alternative to the old elastic bottoms and string pull ties.
