I am so delighted to have a small part in the Pampers Miracles Campaign. When you learn more about it – and watch the tear-jerker video below – I think you’ll understand why. And, the good news is you can participate, too.
Pampers Miracles Campaign
Pampers is celebrating its 50th birthday this year and is taking a look back at how much parenting has changed over the last five decades. Families today come in all forms, as there has been a tremendous cultural shift, filled with scientific advancements and new options that give people the wonderful opportunity to become a family. Pampers embraces these changes and believes all babies are little miracles that deserve to be celebrated, supported and protected, without judgment.
Little Miracle Mission
Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to join Pampers on Facebook and pledge to complete a little miracle for parents. The idea is to commit to a small act of kindness, encourage friends to pay it forward and Pampers will commit to helping parents as the campaign grows. For example, the first Miracle Mission is to “help make Mother’s Day special by congratulating an expectant or new mom on her little miracle. Give a mom a smile, offer her your seat, buy flowers for a mom-to-be, send her a gift or surprise her with a hand-written note; something to remind her that it’s her special day.” Simple enough, right? And, if Pampers gets 2,500 commitments to complete the mission, they will throw over 1,000 baby showers across the country for expectant mothers!
The Shopping Mama’s Miracle Mission
I am so excited to be teaming with Pampers to bring small acts of kindness to a local NICU. I’ll be putting together care packages to assist the families as they bring their little miracles home. I’ll obviously include Pampers Swaddlers (my kids both wore them!) in the care packages, but what products, gift cards, books, etc do you think I should include in the care packages? I’d love your help and advice!
Get Involved! Like Pampers on Facebook and join me in pledging to perform little miracles for parents.

April 21, 2011What about a gift card to get a Piggies and Paws print? A moby wrap was also a must with a preemie when we came home. A car seat was also a must. Something that could go down to 4 lbs. We weren’t expecting a preemie and had to rush to find a car seat!
Those are great ideas, Gena. I would love to do something with Piggies and Paws and a wrap of some sort is a must!
And I totally remember when you were rushing to get a car seat to bring home Myles.
Kate talk to Jenn! She’s so wonderful! The car seat was a huge unexpected purchase! A gift card for Preemie clothes would be great. Gas cards were also a huge expense since you have to travel back and forth.

April 21, 2011I think gift certificate for a restaurant/take out would be appreciated. It is tough to find time to cook!

April 24, 2011Anything to prevent germs during RSV season since a common cold could send a preemie back to the hospital. Hand sanitizer, anti-bacterial soap and a car seat canopy to cover the baby when they go to the pediatrician would be very helpful.
Also, when we brought our preemie home her mouth was too small to breast feed (a very common problem). A handsfree pumping bra and breast milk storage bags would be a great gift. In addition, wubanub pacifiers are great for little mouths.
Thank you for some great ideas, Jen.
