Power Dressing for Preemies

Finding Practical and Fun Fashions

By Toddie Downs

Pages:  1  2  3  4  

Sometimes you will not need to look further than the neonatal nursery for preemie clothing. Many not-for-profit organizations around the country donate hand-made preemie clothes and blankets to hospitals and agencies in their states.

Marianne Doty, chairwoman of Touching Little Lives Inc., based in Circleville, Ohio, reports that her organization supplies preemie clothes and blankets to more than 60 hospitals and agencies in the state. Other organizations located in different states operate in the same fashion, and their clothes will often be the first things that a premature baby wears.

To find out if your state has a similar association, do an online search using "baby" and "501(c)(3) not-for-profit" as your search terms.

Additionally, families of graduated preemies will frequently donate their children's gently used clothing to the NICU to be handed down to other babies or wait until they hear of a premature baby being born in their circle of acquaintances. When my son was in the NICU, we received a box filled with clothes from the friend of a friend. I intend to pass them on either to our NICU or to the next family I know who is having a preemie.
