The loss of a baby is emotionally overwhelming for the parents. Having a handmade wrap or gown that their baby wore is an irreplaceable keepsake.

Angel Wraps

• Also called a bunting, pocket, fetal demise or burial pouch
• Used for a mid-pregnancy loss when the baby is too fragile and small to dress
• May be knitted, crocheted or sewn
• Finished size should be about a 9 inch square, before the lace or edging
• Please line all wraps with a separate piece of white flannel.

Wrap Liners

Angel Gowns

• Worn by preemie babies in the NeoNatal Intensive Care Unit

• A variety of sizes are needed.
• Preemie babies are very skinny, without the chubbiness of full-term babies. See size chart.
