any of the ideas for a smaller baby, inluding our remembrance jewelry
consider angel wings (or special clothes) for special photography (see your state listing of professionals/volunteers for photographers in your area)
consider hand or feet molds of your baby
consider inkless prints: fingerprints/handprints/footprints of your baby
consider breastmilk donation (and get help from the hospital staff with nursing)
investigate as soon as possible if your state offers an official certificate of stillbirth
official, cemetary burial options (including hospital cremation, funeral home cremation, funeral, clothing, and casket information)
Sufficient Grace Ministries (Dreams of You shop)
the Comfort Cub is a teddy bear that is specially weighted to be a similar weight to a newborn
Molly Bears are also specially weighted
A Heart to Hold
Heartbeat Bear (prenatal heartbeat sound)
Teeny Tears offers tiny diapers to hospitals
Project Sweet Peas offers stillbirth and NICU packages (see our info on NICU support)

Special ways of using your photos including a photo reel, which may be special to siblings (see right)
if you have baby items or the nursery already set up, do not pack anything away until both parents agree to this decision. If at that time you decide that you’d like to share your baby’s items with others, Missing Solace has a Christmas present donation program. You can alsoparticipate in our Love Cupboard program.

Especially for Fathers & Siblings
