Nurse's request for premature baby sleeves is viral hit
When paediatric nurse Catherine McConville asked for help to create hand-made knitted sleeves for babies in her hospital neo-natal unit, she never expected thousands of people across the world to volunteer.
Her request was for tiny sleeves to cover the intravenous tubes which are used to help keep the babies alive. These sleeves prevent the babies from getting scratched. The nurse, who's a mother of four children, said:"I'd just started a new job and they knew I am good at crafts, so I was asked if I could knit a few. But then I realised how many we needed, so I decided to ask for help. I created a pattern for an open sleeve and so many people have been following it. The response has been wonderful."
Her post generated comments around the importance of these sorts of covers, and prompted parents to share images of their own premature babies and the homemade knitted items used to make the experience better for the whole family. Others, working in care homes, said it would give their residents a boost as they would want to help too. Offers to help have come in from Dubai, America and Australia..
