Our Christmas Giving Initiative

Christmas is about giving, and with every 3 octopuses purchased, we’ll donate one to a NICU family. Let’s spread love this season, together. 🎄💖

Connection Beyond Barriers

NICU Octopuses provide heartfelt connections for families during the toughest medical journeys.

FROM WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Our story began when my son was born with a Congenital Heart Defect. Now we have the opportunity to help families bond with their babies all over the world.

FAQ's

What are the benefits of a NICU ocotpus?

  • Mimics the umbilical cord, providing familiarity and comfort.
  • Prevents accidental removal of medical equipment, reducing trauma.
  • Helps stabilize heart rate and increase oxygenation.
  • Doubles as a gentle support for intubation tubing.
  • Grows with your baby, becoming a cherished companion and a super cute way to track growth milestones.

How long will it take to hand make my order?
