Angel Baby Nappies

Charity - Angel Baby Nappies
Item/s - Handmade Nappies for Premature and Stillborn Babies

We make hand made dignity cloth nappies, for babies born sleeping and supply them to hospitals all over Australia. We also seek ready-made nappy donations. From my experience, and that of other mothers, it would have been nice to be able to put a cloth nappy on my angel baby, rather than being given a paper towel, or in my instance a "Chux" wipe.

Around 2000 babies are born still every year in Australia and even more premie babies who never make it home. I ask you to spread the word share my cause and help me receive new hand made dignity cloth nappies to supply to families that are going through the loss of their baby. Nappies are made in identical pairs, one for baby and one for family to keep in their memory box's. Nappy sizes start at around 18 week gestation all the way to full term. We have patterns for our handmade nappies and directions available on our Facebook page.

We also supply emergency packs free of charge to any family that is experiencing the heart breaking loss of their baby. Requests are often made by a friend of the family. We strive to deliver these emergency packs as quick as possible. For more information and nappy patterns visit the Facebook page via the link below.
