I just finished reading a post in which a friend's babies were stillborn. Do you guys know that there is a national group called Newborns in Need that makes outfits for burials of babies? They also accept donations of hats, booties, sweater, blankets etc. They always need stuff in preemie sizes since most times preemies are unexpected and there are no store bought items that fit them. They have a website and lots of local chapters. I volunteer sew and knit and go to the monthly "packing" meetings. Our chapter packed 11 large bags at the last meeting. I have made burial outfits esp ones needed for boys. My son is a nurse in the local NICU and he sees these babies on a regular basis. It's sure worth checking out. Just google Newborns in Need and you will see local chapters. Yes, even in this day and age there ARE people who leave the hospital with nothing for the baby! Thanks for listening to my heart. JudyB
