Precious Image Creations began in 1983 to design and manufacture innovative and fashionable clothing for Moms to allow ease and discretion while breastfeeding. When Precious Image learned of Skin to Skin Contact and the dramatic difference in the overall health and bond between the baby and the Mom, we then began to develop products to promote Skin-to-Skin Contact. Precious Image worked closely wi
th focus groups, Birthing Centers and National and International Experts in Skin to Skin Contact to develop garments that would allow a Mom to hold her baby in Skin-to-Skin Contact, breastfeed, be discreet, and hands-free. We now have a full line of garments from which moms can choose. Our goal has always been to provide a simple garment for Post Partum Care to maximize the benefits for Skin-to Skin Contact, initially in the hospital and those first few months of care. It is recommended for term babies to be held at least 6 hours a day Skin-to-Skin and Premature babies as many hours a day as possible. We realized the tremendous need for a product to hold the baby secure. It is very hard to hold your baby for any length of time safely without aid. After extensive research, we have developed the perfect products for both the preemie and full-term infant. It has support for the lines, respirator and allows Mom to pump hands free. With the Second Skin Swaddle, Mom can hold her baby in Skin to Skin Contact and be hands free, and easily move her baby to nursing position. Mom can also hold her baby and pump hands free, giving the best quantity and quality of milk for her baby. The advantages are parent satisfaction, successful breastfeeding, reduction in cost, less abuse, and less post-partum depression. Sylvia Houston
