Teeny Layettes
The main structure of Teeny Tears is to organize the distribution of Teeny Tears diapers for babies 18-32 weeks gestation and Teeny Tears mini-blankets with hats for babies 14-18 weeks gestation.
HOWEVER, some of our hospitals request full layettes for their families. A standard Teeny Tears layette includes the following items:
2 Teeny Tears diapers
Direct link to request diaper patterns: Diaper Pattern Request Form
1 Teeny Tunic
2 Stockinette Hats
Direct link to stockinette information and tutorial: Stockinette Hats
1 Blanket
Direct link to blanket sizing and material information: Blankets
We assign our layette adoptions to participating volunteers via email and/or through this separate, special facebook group dedicated exclusively to the construction and distribution of Teeny Tears Layettes: Teeny Tunic Facebook Page
We provide both small and large layettes to hospitals. The small layettes are for babies 18-23 weeks gestation and the large layettes are for babies 24-32 weeks gestation.
