The growing population of preemies weighing less than 4 pounds has dramatically risen over the past few years. Viability of these petite preemies is higher than ever increasing the need for micro preemie clothes. Technological advances encourage better survival rates driving the necessity of micro preemie clothes to an all time high.

“Statistics backing the demand for micro preemie clothes continue to upsurge”, says Sjona Lindquist, a recognized authority in the area of premature baby product & clothing needs:

-13% increase in premature babies since 1992**
-2% of live births are very premature in the United States**
-157 babies are born every day at a very low birthweight (under 3 lbs 4 oz)**
-1497 (very) premature babies are born every week**
-1.5% of live births, were very low birthweight in the United States**

Micro preemie clothes in the past were very difficult to find and buy. Now micro preemie clothes are becoming more readily available to the gerneral public because of BabyLinq.com. www.BabyLinQ.com -Preemie Store is one of the places where micro preemie clothes are found in many more choices than other stores for premature babies. Many specialty premature baby stores are adding larger sizes for newborns and beyond to span a larger market, and choices in micro preemie clothes are becoming smaller or non-existant.

“The need for micro preemie clothes is not shrinking, it is growing every year”, states Lindquist.
“I found that finding suitable preemie clothes could be as challenging as the search for the holy grail, and just as maddening,” said Toddie Downs, freelance writer and the mother of a former micro preemie. For many parents the search has ended when finding micro preemie clothes at www.BabyLinQ.com. “It’s beautiful, soft, and just what we needed,” says one parent.
“Parents want micro preemie clothes that really fit and are really cute too,” finishes Lindquist.
