Birth and Postpartum Care Items

These items are available at the time of or the hours and days following the delivery of a miscarried or stillborn baby. The birth and postpartum time can be especially hard for the family, as well as a meaningful opportunity that parents have to spend time with their baby making memories and grieving. Families can bring items such as the bear, the memorial necklace (which has a heart that can be touched to the baby and then carried by the Dad while Mom wears the necklace), and (if Catholic) a rosary to touch to the baby and keep. During the precious hours with the baby, saline preservation allows for improved appearance, as you can read about on https://heavensgain.org/saline-info/. This category also includes a comfort box aimed at mom to show her love and makes a thoughtful gift. Many families don’t realize that moms often lactate after second or third trimester losses, so the mom may also appreciate Cabo Cream to help dry up her milk.
