The NICU. Nothing can truly prepare you for what lies behind those doors, it's tough and exhausting, but also filled with hope and the greatest of miracles. I get it, I've been there. I've sat alongside my baby's incubator longing for the day my baby could come home, spent months in a haze of anxiety and sleep deprivation. Life in the NICU is stressful enough, why should it be hard to find what you need to dress and care for your baby?
Struggling with clothing for my 26 weeker Ethan inspired Small Babies - I wanted to be able to dress him easily, in clothes that were soft and wrapped gently around him, and that actually fitted his tiny body! The perfect premature sized clothing wasn't around back then, but now we've got you covered. Gorgeous yet functional outfits that you'll love dressing your baby in, along with milestone cards to celebrate the wins, baby care products, keepsakes and special gifts for mum and dad. We're here to help you throughout your journey, so you can focus on what matters the most - your precious baby.

Just a note to say beautiful prem clothes, I can't wait to gift them to my best friend who had her baby 5 weeks early... That wrap dress may be the smallest thing I've ever seen.
Megan S - Premature NICU Clothing
I just wanted to share with you my grand daughter in a piece of clothing I brought from you. It's size Small Prem as she only weights 1320. But she's came such a long way in the last 9 weeks to this point. Thank you so much.
