In refugee camps, hospitals, and villages around the world, baby kits convey a warm welcome to newborns and their mothers.
In each baby kit please include:
• Two shirts or Onesies® (or similar item)
• Two baby gowns or sleepers (with or without feet) • Two receiving blankets
• One sweater or sweatshirt
• Two washcloths • One bath-size bar (4-5 oz.) of gentle soap, in its original wrapping
• Two diaper pins
• Four cloth diapers, flat fold preferred Diapers can be made by using a pinking shear to cut
pieces 25" X 27" of cloth
Do not add other items or leave out any of the items listed. Gently used, clean items can be substituted for new ones.
Wrap items in one of the receiving blankets and secure with diaper pins. Sizes up to 24 months may be used. Consider varying the sizes of the clothing items so the kit will continue to be useful as the baby grows.
