Shirt holds mother’s scent and turns into a NICU mattress cover
The Canadian Premature Babies Foundation has collaborated with create agency TBWA\Canada to develop the Sweat Sheet, a unique garment that retains a mother’s scent and transforms into a mattress cover for babies in a neonatal intensive care unit.
This dual-purpose shirt was inspired by research that proves how soothing and comforting a mother’s scent can be for premature babies, even when physical presence is not possible.
