Swaddled in Love...


February kicks off the Swaddled in Love Blanket Drive benefiting Vanderbilt Children's Hospital's NICU.  We use these blankets in place of hospital issued blankets to swaddle or place in the incubators.  This gives a sense of normalcy and peace to parents amidst the wires, ventilators, and tubing.  Also, the blankets are softer for the babies and are used in developmental care.  The donated blankets are kept at the hospital and are not taken home by the families.  We literally wear these blankets out so any donations are greatly needed and used.  Donations of new or barely used blankets, preemie clothing, and sleep sacks are needed.   The drive runs the entire month of February.  

Wanna help?  Email me about how you can help swaddle a sweet little baby in love!
