November 08, 2004 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
BabyLinq.com's Hospital Clothing for preemies is the answer to parent's quest to find suitable and affordable micro preemie and preemie clothing for hospital use that meets the strict standards of the Neonatal NICU.

Sjona Lindquist provides high demand clothing specifically designed for micro preemie and preemie babies in the Neonatal NICU. As the owner of www.BabyLinq.com, Lindquist is already known for equiping hospitals with the much needed Hospital Isolette Gown*. "This new cutting edge Neonatal NICU design of 2005, says Lindquist, is customized specifically for micro-preemies and preemies in life threatening situations.'

Lindquist has also listened to the needs of parents whose preemies are in the Neonatal NICU. "Having suffered the loss of my own daughter from Strep B infection due to PROM has given me the desire to present appropriate preemie clothing to parents of preemies struggling in the Neonatal NICU', says Lindquist. BabyLinq.com has high standards when providing preemie clothing intended for hospitalized preemies, and many parents of preemies have benefited from Lindquist's dedication and hard work in searching for and finding convenient, adorable, and soft preemie clothing. "These preemie clothes & blankets get softer every wash,' claim many parents of preemies.

Lindquist outlines 4 hints for parents when selecting preemie clothing for hospitalized preemies.

1. Find easy, open clothing designs: This facilitates hospital equipment, emergency care, and frequent diaper changes.
2. Shop at preemie clothing stores: specialized clothing for preemies is only found there.
3. Don't go to baby stores, department stores, or "mart' chains: Clothing may be labled "preemie' but is not and it will not be allowed in Neonatal NICU's.
4. Save your preemie clothing: Someday you will be amazed at how small your grown preemie was.

The need for micro preemie and preemie clothing that meets stringent hospital standards is rising. Statistics show the increasing demand for clothing that humanize the preemies amid the equipment that is part of their lives. Statistics show the dramatic increase in recent years:

-1 in 8 babies born in the United States are preemies**
-29% increase in premature babies since 1981**
-13% increase in premature babies since 1992**
-9246 premature babies are born every week**
-1497 (very) premature babies are born every week**

"The proper preemie clothing allows Neonatal NICU's to work effectively with preemies, while meeting the physical needs of the preemies and emotional needs of their parents,' says Lindquist.
