Neonatal Loss
LMK provides gowns and clothing to hospitals to dress the babies who have passed away. Members are available to provide emotional and practical support such as meals and childcare. Please contact amanda@loddonmalleekids.org.au or phone 1300 773 622 for further information.
We recommend the Bonnie Babes Foundation website, books and grief counselling.
"The Bonnie Babes Foundation provides national, 24-hour grief counselling services to Australian families who have lost a baby.
The Foundation's trained counsellors will provide grief counselling for any member of the family or friends grieving after pregnancy loss including miscarriage, stillbirth, premature-birth loss, genetic termination (forced abortion due to complications), and neonatal death (death shortly after birth).
Our counselling services also support families with infertility issues and families who have a baby with an illness or complication following birth.
If you require the counselling services of the Foundation, please telephone (03) 9803 1800 fax on (03) 9803 2699 or email: enquiry@bbf.org.au."
