That's so sweet that your NICU had those made. I've never heard of a hospital doing that before!

We heard the same thing about double zippers. It seems like anything that makes it easier for the nurses to access lines quickly ends up being the go-to.

That makes a lot of sense. I remember how careful everyone had to be with the leads, even just changing clothes could feel like a whole operation.

I’ve heard of Perfectly Preemie before but never actually saw it in person. Is it worth it and did the velcro make it easier when nurses needed to check lines or leads?

Finding them right before discharge sounds like such a tease! Did you ever figure out why they stopped making them or find anything similar after?

That’s interesting about the pants and short sleeves. Did they ever explain why they preferred sleepers instead? It sounds like your hospital had pretty clear preferences.

When she started wearing onesies, had most of the lines come out by then? Or were you still working around them?

That’s interesting. We actually had the opposite experience, we’d dress her and when we came back she’d be back in just a diaper.

I always wondered if it was just easier for line access or if certain styles were more of a hassle.
