They will be in 3 sizes M (1.5-2.5kgs) L (2.5-3.5kgs) XL (3.5-4.5kgs) - The singlet is in the 800gm-1.5 size only.
Several hundred will go in packs to Dubbo Hospital Maternity Unit for those women who have come to the unit to deliver in a huge hurry and have nothing for their baby to be clothed in.
Sometimes their Outback Northern NSW mums are raced to the RFDS plane to fly thousands of miles to Dubbo to deliver as it is the closest maternity hospital. Meanwhile, dad is driving for many hours to get there with the clothes.
A heap will go in packs (3 to a pack) to Careflight NT for the Islander babies as they have absolutely nothing to take their baby home in. Plus some to our 2 refuges babies.
The singlets also double as NCIU smocks and because they are in red and white; can be used for NSW Ambulance sets.
Lynda is also going to speak to her freight company about sponsoring freight of all our boxes to Darwin Airport; and if she has any leftover baby clothes etc after the end of each season, we may also have them too!
This is an absolutely awesome and huge gesture from Lynda and Earlybirds. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and compassion; more so adopting us as your recipient.
