All About Miracle Babies

Miracle Babies honours and celebrates the birth of babies who enter our world challenged by prematurity or sickness.

Our mission is to provide support to families throughout Australia during their journey through a Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU), the transition to home and onwards.

We provide emotional and practical support to families through hospital visits, newsletters, an online forum, playgroups, a 1300 phone number and an annual picnic. Miracle Babies can provide the structure and guidance for parents of miracle babies to set up their own support group in their local area.

Miracle Babies aims to raise community awareness and help educate people about the needs of these special newborns. The group works to raise funds for much needed equipment and resources for Newborn Intensive Care Units.

Miracle Babies originated through, and is closely aligned with, Liverpool Public Hospital in Sydney, earmarked to be the biggest hospital in the southern hemisphere. Founding members of Miracle Babies are all mothers who have experienced the birth of a premature or sick newborn. We understand the emotions of fear, love, guilt and elation and have learned to triumph over the challenges a premature or sick birth can bring.

We are here to share our strength and knowledge, to help families celebrate their own miracle babies.
