    I probably wouldn't make too many little ones, depending on the NICU, but my bubs didn't wear beanies until out of NICU and into SCN. A lot of bubs spend a long time on CPAP which has it's own little hat.

    I hope that helps x

    I should clarify that DD was only in the SCN, not NICU - I think there are different rules and regulations for what can be worn in NICU.

    I think the nurse must have meant SCN too because she said 30 cms and up and there will be babies that are big sizes and not just premmies.

    Thanks ladies!
