If you’re looking for something to do over the Christmas break, Christchurch Women’s Maternity Services are in need of some knitting for full term babies 🧶 check out their post for more details 💚
📢 Maternity Services at Christchurch Women’s Hospital is calling for donations of knitted hats, singlets, cardigans and blankets for full-term babies 🧶
👶 We need wool singlets, hats and cardigans that will fit babies weighing between 2.5kg and 4.5 kg (5lb-10lb).
❗ We are unable to accept any knitting in acrylic because this material does not support the babies to maintain their body temperature.
🙏 We are so grateful to the community for providing this valuable resource to the whānau of Canterbury, many of whom are caught unaware of how many layers their baby may need to keep warm or be caught out with a baby that has difficulty maintaining their temperature.
👉 Donations can be sent or dropped off to:
Christchurch Women’s Maternity Ward, Level 5, Christchurch Women’s Hospital. Please include your name and contact details if you wish.
