Who we areMini Poids wants to provide peace of mind
to parents of premature and mini birth weight babies by;
• offering baby clothing adapted to their Mini size,
• using organic cottons and eco-friendly terry bamboo and,
• produced locally.
Mini Poids was born from a profound desire to fill this need for clothing made from natural fibers, adapted to a premature baby or a low birth weight baby’s mini size.
• Birth of my niece Frédérique,
• Reaction of nursing staff toward clothing,
•Viability of this project verified through 30 years of official statistics showing a growing trend.
