What a truly inspiring and thoughtful person you are to do this for the infant's family.

We lost our first born 3 years ago, he was stillborn at 36.4 weeks. He was wrapped in a knitted blanket and we were given one exactly like the one he had. It meant the world to us, and I will always keep it as a memory of our little angel Devin. So thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to those of you who take the time to do this for us.

Thank you for sharing this, I would love to show this to some sewing buddies as a community project for us this year. Thank you for your caring and thoughfullness!

Very special blankets, I'm sure the Parents appreciate them.

Thank you for your show of comfort to grieving parents. The pattern suggestion is very helpful. Does the 10 in. square make it big enough?

That would have been lovely and touching for my baby that didn't make it. I know what you do means so much to parents. Thank you.

Oh my gosh. I don't know what to say.

You could try contacting the pastoral care department of a hospital that has maternity services and see if they have any services that support bereaved parents of premature babies or stillborn, and volunteer to contribute. If your local hospital does not have need of these, perhaps a children's hospital in your region has a program you can contribute to. This is a very special way to give back to your community and support those at a time of great grief. God bless everyone who does these services.

I had made gowns that where open in the back to make it early to dress the bady. Not putting the fabric over their head. Making the arms easy to put in. The hospital told us not to use fannel because the babies skin is so soft it would stick to the fabric and tear open. The hospital said to use 100% cotton. These are a great blessing for all.
