This blanket has been designed with a rainbow baby in mind. A rainbow baby is a child that is born after a loss, through miscarriage or still birth. A rainbow baby can also mean a long-awaited child for a couple who have been trying to conceive for many years, often going through IVF and fertility drugs to finally meet their beautiful miracle child. The hearts symbolise the love a parent has for a child, no matter the journey to welcome them into the world.
