Meet our Models

Cressie — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 19:15:00 +0000

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.

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…
