This is a pile of Lovie Dolls my bible study group made last weekend for our
Threads of Love chapter. Lovie Dolls are donated to local hospitals to be given in pairs to preemie baby and his/her mommy. They each sleep with one doll. Then they swap them out. When baby picks up mommy's scent from her doll, it is calming and reassuring that mommy is near. When mommy picks up baby's scent, it helps bring her milk in. Isn't that just a God thing? I am amazed every time I think about it when we make these dolls.
We managed to get 30 pair completed. Each of our local hospitals wants 50 pair every month! They were very excited about these little guys.

Threads of Love and/or how you can help, visit the national
website or send me an email.

What a great idea! This is the first time I heard of a Lovie Doll, but will certainly spread the word. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. And thanks for stopping by.
DeleteLove this! Just found out about it from my sister who is a midwife. Definitely going to spread the word and start making some to go with my crochet hats. :-)

ReplyDeleteHi Sara, aren't they wonderful? We have gotten such positive feedback on these and all the items TOL has donated. It's a great ministry. Have fun making yours.
