What do we do?
Beanies for Preemies
Premature babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) cannot wear clothing in the beginning due to their delicate skin. Clothing can interfere with temperature regulation and access to IV lines.
​
When the baby can start to wear clothes, it is a celebrated milestone. Hats are one of the first pieces of clothing that can be used for a baby in the NICU. Hats help keep premature babies warm and do not interfere with their care.
​
We connect hospitals in need of infant hats for their tiniest patients with our volunteer hatmakers who create crochet and knit hats.
