[ozmidwifery] Grieving families
For those unaware, SIDS and KIDS have a 'Treasured Baby' programme. We send out packs for babies from about 16 weeks gestation. They have a nightie, knitted set, sleeping bag, certificate in decorated tube for smaller bubs. For 18 to term the packs have two nighties, two knitted sets, a bunny rug, a blanket, the certificate, all made to size by volunteers from donated materials. We also have memory boxes with tiny bonnets and bootees for miscarriages, remembrance boxes for all the keepsakes and little burial boxes, lined and decorated. We send packs to many of the units here in Victoria and some in NSW. Any unit can obtain the packs. The vast majority of volunteers have lost babies, and find this is a healing activity. Feed back from families is extremely positive. So, as well as photos, there are things that acknowledges the birth of the baby, no matter the gestation, and can provide memories.

RE: [ozmidwifery] Grieving families
Nothing. Sids and Kids even pay the postage. Because everything is donated we can offer these as gifts. Naturally we are always seeking donations, so if anyone has surplus wool in 3 4ply in baby colours, or can help out with materials, i.e. pastel flannelette, fleece, interlock. We also need small boxes, which are then painted and decorated. Any money has to go to SK and we don't see it. I'll take some photos and hopefully post them. Any one can drop into the centre and see what we do. Open Tuesdays and Fridays 9.30 -12.
