Here is a holiday accessory that even the tiniest baby can enjoy.  Available in either newborn or 0-3 month sizes, these Sweet Santa Booties by Preemie-Yums are sure to delight.  They are made from super-soft red velour with sherpa cuffs and pom poms on the toes.  They are machine washable and NICU-approved, so even a preemie can share in the festivities.

You can purchase a pair on sale for $7.95 at NurturePlace.com.  They would make a very thoughtful gift, too.

We have several cute and well-made toys from Under the Nile.  I just now discovered that the company also makes clothing.  These little Organic Cotton Side Snap Preemie Sets are absolutely adorable.  I learned the hard way with my first daughter, who weighed only 6 lbs 3 oz even though she was a week overdue, that preemie clothes aren’t just for preemies.  I now know that it is wise to have a few preemie outfits for a new baby.  Even my second daughter, who weighed a full pound more at birth wore some preemie clothes in the first few days.

I love the bold, bright stripes of these outfits.  They are made from 100% organic cotton using low impact dies and lead/nickel-free snaps.  Side snaps make these outfits easy to get over a baby’s head, and an elastic waist makes for quick and easy diaper changes.  You can purchase one of these outfits, designed to fit 3-8 pounds, at kidbean.com.  Each set costs $23.
