A Cuddle Cot allows the family to spend every moment with their baby, precious moments where every minute counts before saying goodbye forever.
A Cuddle Cot is a cooling system that has been designed to fit within a Shnuggle basket and lies beneath their baby. When a baby dies, there is a short window of time for a family to create memories, say hello and goodbye to their child and the lifetime they had dreamed for them. These cuddle cots are such a gift for these families to access as they extend the brief time to be together and allow the family so many more opportunities to shower their child with their love.
You can help fulfill a placement by creating an online fundraising page and raising $6500 to fund a Cuddle Cot, which includes the cooling unit, the new shnuggle basket, stand, mattress, linen, embroidery, plaques, transport and administration costs.
Once you reach your goal, we will work with you to place the cuddle cot at the next hospital, funeral home, or hospice in need. There are times that we may hold the Cuddle Cot for a period of time until a placement requests one.
**We are now out of stock and we are expecting our next cuddle cot delivery sometime in February. If you are wanting to purchase or make a donation in full, please get in touch so that we can allocate one for you as we will also be allocating to our fundraisers who reach their fundraising goal prior.

“Having access to a cuddle cot at the hospital I birthed my son Morgan, was a real blessing. It just gave us time. That’s what we ultimately lost, a life’s worth of time with our boy. So we needed to be able to spend some time with him, time without doctors, nurses and midwives having to come in or Morgan having to be taken. I think after all the heartbreak of things we couldn’t control, it gave me and my family the opportunity to at least say goodbye in our own time. I feel it was really important and I wanted that for other families.” Morgan’s mum, Eden.
