Preemie clothes donation

RobinR91

Hi again,

 I'm proud to announce that my 31week miracles have grown out of their petite premie and premie clothes! Do you know any type of organization I can donate them too (there are some really nice ones). I was thinking of steering clear of the goodwill/christian help places because I would think they would just get mixed iin with newborn stuff. TIA for any advice you might have!

Maybe check with your NICU?  All of the preemie clothes our babies wore in NICU were all donated.  If I ever did have to buy some, I don't think I would have had time to check any stores or goodwill types of places and just would have ordered online.

Or maybe some non-hospital mother/baby centers in your area?  A place that helps women that cannot afford much?

Let me just say thank you for looking for places to donate them. I had a horrible time finding reasonably priced preemie stuff for DD here in Germany, and on FB just a few weeks ago I saw my aunt ask a friend who had preemies last year whether she could have any leftover clothes because her granddaughter could use them for her doll. I was like... um... how about they get put to better use for premature babies as opposed to dolls?!

I agree to check with your NICU. Even if they don't accept donated clothes (mine doesn't), they might be able to point you to places that do.

We donated all of ours to the NICU that DS was in. Yay for your babies being too big for preemie clothes! :-)

I just posted last week about donating some of DD's old preemie clothes to our NICU. If your hospital's NICU doesn't take them (and most do, I think), they might know of a place that will.
