Memory making
Many parents cherish the time they were able to spend with their baby, and keepsakes can play a vital role in the grieving process following baby loss as most parents find making memories and having such reminders afterwards a great comfort. Other parents may feel that making memories and seeing their baby isn’t the right decision for them.
There are lots of different ways we can support you in remembering your baby, some of these include:
- A memory box provided by a Baby Loss Charity
- Hand and foot prints
- Photography by the midwives
- Professional photography by www.remembermybaby.org.uk
- Dressing or bathing your baby
- Reading to your baby
- Collecting special items such as a copy of their first outfit or name tags
- Lighting a candle
