Need help with quilt for a preemie
I have seen info on quilts for the NICU before...but never needed it, so didn't note directions.
My youngest cousin and his wife just gave birth to a little girl a few days ago. She is 2 months premature. Instead of sending a regular baby quilt, I would like to send them a quilt to go over her isolette(?). I'm pretty sure I just spelled that wrong.
If anyone has an idea of what the hospitals usually require, I would appreciate the info. Would like to get this sent to them ASAP. I don't even know the baby's name, but figure if the quilt is made with love and prayers it will help her to thrive.

Just Google isolette covers. There are several patterns available for free. You could also check with the specific hospital website. They may have special instructions. Often there is a volunteer group that make these sort of things and they will have patterns available.

I would call the director of the NICU and see what is acceptable and what is not. They might have strict guidelines you need to follow. I'm sure he/she will be happy to help you. Good Luck to the parents and may God bless the baby!!

Have a call in to my Aunt. Hopefully, she will be able to give me the hospital name and maybe #. Otherwise, will get cousin's # from her.
Cousin is out of state...and his parents are not able to travel to see the baby due to bad health.
Thanks for your help. Will be contacting the NICU.
