'A fantastic idea that fills a much-needed gap in the market. Teddy & Me not only understand the parents need to welcome their new child to the world but they also understand the needs of nurses and the various life saving practicalities that need to be accomodated by the clothes'

What makes our premature baby clothes different?

Ours Fit - Many retailers advertise premature baby clothes but few will provide clothes that actually fit. Our garments are the result of extensive investigative research and trials. Our sizing is based on actual body measurements provided to us by medical experts.

Ease of Dressing - We haven't simply made tiny versions of everyday baby wear. Our neonatal clothes have been designed to take into consideration the various tubes, drips or monitors your baby may have, making it easy to dress them. Whilst our larger sized clothing continues to offer comfort and practicality to babies up to six months of age.

Quality - You'll struggle to find better quality premature and tiny baby clothes anywhere. Magnify the images to see the delicate stitching and attention to detail. Our garments are made from 100% Cotton, with flat seams where possible and carefully placed 'soft touch' washcare labels. They are beautifully soft against your baby's skin, as you would expect them to be. Whilst others may try to imitate our garments, there really is no substitute.

Customer Service  - We're passionate about our products and the needs of tiny babies. We're a family run business with traditional values and we realise the importance of customer satisfaction. As such we will go 'that extra mile' to provide it. Call us or email if you require further information, we are happy to help.

How common is Premature Birth?

Recent UK wide data indicates that around one in eight babies requires some form of special care. This equates to over 80,000 babies. Despite improvements in antenatal and neonatal care, the number of premature babies born each year has not significantly decreased since the 1960s. It remains very difficult to identify women and babies at risk because the causes of premature labour are not yet fully understood.

What causes Premature Birth?

More work is needed to understand the causes of premature labour. Research has identified some risk factors that may increase a woman's chance of having a premature baby, although it is important to acknowledge that many women with no known risk factors will have a preterm labour. In fact, the majority of premature births occur without any obvious cause or known risk factors.
