NICU Scent Cloth:

A scent cloth is a small transitional object that can provide a huge sense of comfort to caregivers knowing they are able to support their infant even from afar.  Infants are powerfully bonded to their mothers through their familiar natural body scent that is similar to the taste of the amniotic fluid and her breast milk. Scent is also strongly tied to memory and can become familiar over time in the case of our fathers. Caregivers are encouraged to wear the small piece of cloth on their person and to transition the cloth to the infant’s bed upon separation. The cloths work to provide the baby with parental scent but can also be used in the reverse where transferring baby’s scent to a cloth to give to the mother can help support milk let down and pumping.
