Sewing Hearts for Neonatal Intensive Care at Riverside House
2023-11-30 14:00 - 16:00 | Riverside Library, Riverside House, Main Street, Rotherham, S60 1AE, United Kingdom
Get together, learn how to sew, and help parents and babies bond.
This workshop will involve learning how to sew a simple fabric heart. These hearts (or bonding squares) are used at Sheffield Jessop Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to help parents and babies bond . The baby has one in their incubator, the parents have one with them. Each day, the squares can be swapped so that the baby has the parent’s scent and the parent has the baby’s scent. It can be incredibly meaningful to take “a piece” of your baby home with you each day.
