“As always, remember that quality is more important than quantity! These kits are very precious to new mothers & the babies that use them!”
Supplies Needed:• 1 ½ gallon ziplock baggies
• Infant gown made from lightweight 100% cotton or knit. NO OTHER FABRIC WILL WORK! Sizes newborn – 6 months. Open gown with no zippers or buttons. Follow Available pattern if needed.
• 1 double receiving blanket made from cotton flannel or lightweight fleece. Or 1 sided medium fleece. 36” x 45”. For double sided, sew 10” square in center to keep secure.
• 4 diaper pins (not safety pins)
• 4 diaper cloths. Flat fold made of birdseye or diaper flannel (100% cotton) about 25”
• 2 bars of non-allergenic or Ivory soap
• 1 pair baby booties or newborn socks
• Small card that states who kit was made by. We put a tag that says, “Made with love from the children of Serving With Smiles in American Fork, Utah, USA”
Instructions:
• Fold blanket, infant gown, diapers into rectangular shape to fit inside baggie
• Place pins, booties, soap and card inside, so card is seen from outside
• Hold bag against your body and securely SQUEEZE air out of bag and seal thoroughly.
• It is very important to not let air seep back into the bag, so you must put finished kit into a
tight space. We always fill complete kits into a small box with other completed kits
IMMEDIATELY and then seal the box promptly.
• The bags really do inflate very quickly and if they aren’t promptly packed tightly, they will
inflate, which could cause the contents to get wet or pop.
• Label box with amount of kits and type of kits.
We gladly accept donations! Thank you!
