Sophie is now 9 years old. She is small for her age and health-wise is more delicate than the other children at school but this is ok because her mum, Amanda (31), considers her lucky to be here. When Sophie was born she weighed 1lb 5oz. Amanda was airlifted to hospital terrified for both of their lives. When she was finally born, Sophie could fit in the palm of her father's hand. Her lungs were underdeveloped and medics feared the worst, but as time went on Sophie grew stronger and was eventually allowed home.
One of the problems Amanda had whilst Sophie was in hospital was dressing her. Mothercare's premature baby range did not provide an option small enough and Amanda had to rely on the kindness of others to make clothes small enough to fit her daughter. In fact, Amanda admits Sophie could fit into dolls clothes.
Keeping a prem baby warm is the next priority after making sure they are breathing properly. Little hats are very important to keep baby warm as many have fine and/or sparse hair. Tiny hands mean scratch mittens and socks (to keep precious toes snuggly) are impossible to find. The trouble is that premature baby clothes are fiddly for inexperienced knitters to make and the demand is not high enough for the major retailers to respond. This is where babyknitwear.com can help. You can order through the website or Email Joan with the baby's size and weight with any other specifications e.g. colour of wool preferred or if all you need is a cardigan. We will let you know how quickly your items can be made and have them delivered to your door the next day.
We also understand that no woman plans to have her baby early and an early birth can put everyone's life on hold. Daddy might still have to go out to work to pay the bills and forfeit bonding time with Mum and baby. It might be that there is no facility in your town for early births and travel to hospital could cost a fortune in time and money when worrying about your finances should be the last thing on your mind. We promise that our premature baby clothes packages are as low in price and high in quality as we can possibly make them.
With medical science progressing as it has since Sophie's birth in April 2000, babies born with a low birth weight or underdeveloped are surviving when 15-20 years ago they would not have stood a chance. We at babyknitwear.com hope that in a few years, the delivery of early term babies will no longer be considered a scientific miracle but commonplace.
