St Thomas’s hospital have run out of bonding squares on their Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Bonding squares are pairs of 5 inch by 5 inch knitted or crochet squares (any colour, design, and wool - please do be aware it needs to be washable in a machine for accidental spit up moments). One square is put with the poorly baby, and the other square is with the parent, and then these are swapped over daily. They are so crucial for our little superstar premature babies, our sicky newborns and parents who are separated at such a stressful time.
Please please please dig out your knitting needles if you can and help our tiny humans
Please send them to:
Neonatal unit
St Thomas hospital
Westminster bridge road
London
SE1 7EH
Thank you! The babies and mummy’s will be so happy
