Premature babies need properly sized clothes and support
Local churches donate baby outfits to fill the nursery, reducing purchases. Lovig, once a nurse, now an entrepreneur, markets prem baby outfits at $100 retail, $50 wholesale and may discuss pricing with buyers. Dr. Murray notes clothes help normalcy for premature infants. Lovig volunteers weekly, balancing struggle with growth.
