  • Cuddle Cot donated in memory of baby Tidus
    Cuddle Cot donated in memory of baby Tidus 11 January 2024 Osborne Park Hospital has received the donation of a Cuddle Cot from a family who experienced the tragedy of a baby born still and wanted to support others going through the same experience. Cuddle Cots provide invaluable support to families during a time of grief and loss and allow parents and their loved ones to spend precious time before saying their final goodbyes to their littlest loved ones. A Cuddle Cot is a bassinet cooling system that enables families to keep their baby close, create beautiful memories and spend time with their babies before they say goodbye. After the passing of their precious baby Tidus in October 2022, Alisha and Brent were determined to provide other parents with the same opportunity to get to know their little ones before they say goodbye. The family raised more than $6,500 in loving memory of Tidus to provide comfort, connection and support to familie...
