Thank you
Following advice from a major yarn manufacturer, we are no longer able to accept knitted or crocheted items made from shimmer, glitter or lurex yarns - Thank you for your understanding.
Bonding Squares
|
What are bonding squares and why do we add them to our neonatal boxes?
Bonding squares are used by mums whose babies are in a neonatal unit. Each mum is given two squares, one is kept with baby & one is kept on mums body, every 12 hours they are swapped.... They help mum & baby to bond by smell in cases where they can't physically touch. Please note we are unable to accept bonding squares at the moment, unless part of a set ( with a matching blanket or matching blanket, jacket and hat) due to the high volume that we have received recently. |
