TippyToes Baby Bank supports parents along their journey of parent hood with pre loved baby items. TippyToes support many families who have had their baby earlier than expected, with tiny nappies and clothes for their precious baby. Working with the parents and staff on the NICU we are aware of the stress, trauma, uncertainty and love parents experience caring for their baby. Most parents who experience the neo natal unit are not prepared for the huge unexpected event, but in their new role of parent of a NICU baby they naturally put them as their priority.
Sitting with their baby 24/7 is the only place they want to be and for lots of parents this can be a very difficult time due to other family ties and work commitments.
Having a baby who needs NICU is a shock that no one prepares themselves for, mum may have suffered a traumatic birth, early birth or a baby who needs a little help. They, of course want to be with their baby all the time. Many parents are tired , shocked and mum is recovering but she will always puts baby before herself.
We want to support these parents with very basic but very necessary items. We want to be able to supply the parents with some essential items that will make their stay with their baby easier.
We would like to be able to gift every parent a bag containing a lidded safety cups, nutritious snack bars and other items, warm fluffy socks, a special My NICU Diary, a small outfit for baby, and an ink less hand print kit.
We want every parent to realize that we care and they are as special as their baby.
