Cots 4 Tots - A Charity That Helps Families With Neonatal Intensive Care
Cots for Tots provides accommodation near the hospital to families with babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The Great Appeal, the charity dedicated to Bristol Children's Hospital, runs the program. Abbey Silvester ran in support of the AJ Bell Great Bristol Run.
It is recommended to transfer your child to a bed as soon as they are ready. This will help avoid resentment toward their new sibling. It can also help them to sleep better.
The Cots 4 Tots story
The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, a nonprofit organization, is a partner in the Marine Corps toy drive. It offers administrative, advisory, financial, logistical and promotional support to local Toys for Tots Coordinators and a variety of other services that the Marine Corps cannot provide. It also distributes educational and informational materials to the general public. It also arranges for national companies to include information about Toys for Tots in their paid advertisements and conducts a public education and publicity program every year.
The Cots 4 Tots story began in the year 2010 with a fundraising appeal to Bristol's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) located at St Michael's Hospital. Since its founding the charity has raised tens and thousands of pounds to help families of premature or sick babies in the West of England and South Wales. Its work includes family accommodation homes and the provision of state-of-the-art equipment for the NICU.
One of the main areas of focus is the Cots For Tots House, a cost-free "home from home" for families staying at the hospital. It is located next to the NICU and allows parents to stay close to their child. The charity has helped more than 2,100 families stay in the house since.
Families staying at Cots For Tots House are reassured they are not alone. They have a community of other parents going through similar experiences and they can support each other out. In addition, they have access to a wide range of facilities to make their stays as comfortable as is possible.
The charity also provides a musician who visits the NICU to help reduce the stress and suffering of both parents and babies. It has been proven to improve the quality of life of both the parents and patients. Music therapy also helps reduce the amount of medication required to treat children, saving both time and money for hospitals. The therapist employs specially designed instruments that resonate and are tuned to specific frequencies, and play soothing tunes that soothe babies. Resonant instruments can also help relax fathers and mothers.
