The arrival of a premature baby can be a traumatic time for families. Parents should be able to focus on each other and their new baby without having to think about unfamiliar supplies and logistics that come with being unexpectedly faced with a Neonatal Unit journey. Tiny Sparks WA aims to provide as many of these new parents as possible with a suite of Neonatal Unit essentials to assist them at this difficult time.

Neonatal Unit Care Packages are currently distributed to the following hospitals:

• King Edward Memorial Hospital;

• Perth Children’s Hospital;

• St John of God Subiaco; and

• Fiona Stanley Hospital

A Neonatal Unit Care Package includes:

• A freezable cooler bag for transporting of EBM (the most popular item within the existing Care Packages based on the feedback received!).

• An IV friendly NICU top or dress.

• Pocket hand sanitiser for keeping germs at bay when out and about.

• Hand cream to combat dry skin caused by frequent washing and use of hand sanitiser.

• A reusable water bottle to help maintain hydration.

• Inkless hand and foot print kit to create a treasured keepsake.

• A multipurpose wrap for use as an expressing cover, for skin to skin cuddles and for baby when they are big enough.

• A Tote Bag to help carry all your items to and from hospital.

• A pen to keep on hand to record special moments.

• A personal message of support/encouragement from the donor.

Neonatal Unit Care Packages are distributed to parents of babies born under 1500g and/or before 32 weeks gestational age, and other babies with an illness/condition requiring a lengthy stay at PCH.
