Dealing with the death of a baby is an incredibly difficult time for parents. Many bereaved parents wish to spend more time with their baby. After losing Charlie if we had been able to use one of Cold Cot Systems from Flexmort Ltd it would have given us as a family more time to spend with him.
Time allows bereaved parents to form an important bond with their baby; whether changing a nappy, dressing there baby, taking photographs or simply just staying close and this unquestionably helps families in dealing with their loss.
The problem is that in a warm room the baby’s condition can deteriorate quickly, therefore cooling the baby is absolutely essential. Transferring to and from the morgue is now widely regarded as an outdated practice as it is traumatic for parents to repeatedly go through the separation process whereas the Cuddle Cot allows the family to spend every moment with their baby, precious moments where every minute counts.
The use of a Cuddle Cot would have preserved Charlie's features and body and allowed us to spend more time with him before he began to change. Watching your baby's features deteriorate and change in front of your eyes while you're learning to say hello and goodbye is just too much to bare.
Had a Cuddle Cot been available we would have had more time with him, the way we wanted to remember him. He was absolutely perfect, but because of the warm room his body began to change and we needed to say our final goodbyes. We do cherish the time we spent with him but what we wouldn't give to have had more time with him.
Please help us make our dream a reality and give the gift of time to the parents who will follow in our footsteps. We want to honour Charlie's short life and memory by donating a Cuddle Cot to our local hospital and then if we can continue our campaign we would like to make sure every hospital has at least one, Thank you for your continued support you can read more about us at www.Charlies-Angel-Centre.org.uk by donating just £1 you are giving the the gift of time xxxx
