Babies in Beanies is a collaboration of Snowgum Studio photography and MissChief Maker.  A unique opportunity to enter your child in a winter photographic competition whereby Leonie from Snowgum Studio takes a photo of your child in a MissChief Maker beanie and then the public vote online each week after all the children have been photographed.   The competition registrations are open now at www.misschiefmaker.com.au and the photo shoots are during June.   There are some fabulous prizes to be won too.....will tell you about them later!

Babies in Beanies is running not only to find the cutest baby in a beanie in Canberra, but also to support a very worthy cause.  The Newborn Intensive Care Foundation is a local charity that raises money for much needed medical equipment for critically ill babies.  Last year the Babies in Beanies competition helped to raise over $2500 for a humidicrib for the Canberra hospital. This year we are seeking to more than double the fundraising to $6500.  This is to purchase a new biliblanket for the Canberra Hospital who are in need of two new blankets.

The  BiliBlanket is an LED and fibre-optic based technology  enabled  blanket  that assists with the treatment of indirect  hyperbilirubinemia  in  newborns.  The biliblanket has features that are  needed for  intensive  phototherapy for aiding in the remedy of  hyperbilirubinemia.  It is also  the only product on the market that  supports and promotes  developmental  care, enables infant-parent  bonding and provides healing  light where it  is needed – in Neonatal,  ICU, Pediatrics, Well Baby  Nursery and at  home.  These blankets are  $6500 each. That's our target.
