How NICU blankets make a difference:
❤️ By providing comfort to parents with babies in life-altering situations, often for months at a time.
❤️ Our blankets help make the experience a little less “clinical.” and a lot more LOVING when a total stranger provides a kind and loving gift to someone they will likely never know, just because, it is the kind and right thing to do.
❤️ By adding color and warmth to an often stark clinical feeling of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit -- it helps support the NICU nurses and all of the lives-on-the-line. Nurses tell us how this makes a huge difference for all the families and babies in the NICU.
❤️ By providing a gift to cherish in the future. These treasures become a keepsake after the child is well and are sometimes put on display in shadow boxes or placed in a memory box.
How you can help:
When making your NICU blankets, please:
✅ Ensure the blanket is no smaller than 24” x 30”.
✅ Use yarns on our Required Yarn List. Knit or crochet a blanket made from any soft, cozy, lightweight yarn.
✅ Remember, these tiny preemie babies that sometimes weigh only 1lb will be wrapped in your blankets.
✅ Please do not make any patterns that are lacey or have holes in them... because little fingers, toes, and tubes can get caught in blankets with holes.
✅ Be sure to follow our guidelines and fill out a submission form when you send your lovingly made creation(s) -- this is very important. :)
✅ Note: We do not accept preemie and/or infant hats anymore because hospitals tell us they are inundated with them.
