We at Illawarra baby and child loss support all understand the devastation of losing our child/ren. It is in these moments that some didnt have the chance to use a cuddle cot and others that said they would be lost without one. We wish to give this gift of time to other families that have to walk this journey. Please give generously in honor of all the babies gone too soon.

We are aiming to raise money to fund a Cuddle Cot for a hospital in need and we would welcome any contribution that you could make to help support the families who experience the heartbreaking loss of their baby.

A Cuddle Cot is a cooling system that has been designed to fit within a small cot. This effective system allows for babies who have passed away to remain with their families so that they are not required to be cooled in a mortuary environment. Cuddle Cots enable family members to travel to visit and meet the baby, siblings to meet one another and even gives parents the option of taking their baby home to lay in their own cot, in their own room or travel in their own car seat. 

It’s about giving parents choices and reassuring them that they can spend as much time as they like with their baby, without the fear of the baby needing to be cooled in a traditional mortuary.
