Preemie Packets

My parents called my NICU isolette my “dorm room,” and they made it as cozy and homelike as possible by personalizing it with items just for me.

While in the NICU, it’s a critical time for preemies and their parents to bond. To help achieve that, I created Preemie Packets, which I assemble and deliver to NICUs both locally and nationally. Items included are:

• Black & White Picture Cards
  Self-drawn pictures to help preemie brain stimulation

• Lovey Blanket
  Share between mother and preemie for scent recognition

• Teddy Bear
  Every preemie deserves a stuffed animal friend

  License Plate
  Write the preemie’s name so neighbors get to know each other

• Picture Frame
  Add a family photo so that everyone can always be together
