Thinking Small - Premature Baby Clothing Company is Launched
Added: (Sat Mar 22 2008)
Teddy & Me began trading in February, the company, based in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, aims to provide parents of premature and low birth weight babies, with clothing that is suitable for neonatal and home care environments.
Mum of one, Sharon Ward, was inspired to set up her business after getting involved with the premature baby charity ADAPT (Charity no.1080112) which supports parents of premature and poorly babies. She found that many mums struggled to find suitable well - fitting clothes for their low weight babies and wanted to help alleviate the problem. She was also keen to help the many parents who lose their babies through prematurity and stillbirth by creating resting garments for babies weighing less than 8lbs (3.5kg).
Following extensive research - speaking to paediatricians, neonatal specialists and parents - Sharon then spent eighteen months developing her clothing range. Great care has been taken to ensure every garment offers maximum comfort, allows for ease of dressing and more importantly takes into consideration the tubes and monitors the babies may have attached. Sizes start at 400grams
