A wonderful idea!! Yes, a lot of the micro-preemies do survive!! My sister is a NICU med-flight nurse and flies in a helicopter transporting these wee ones to the larger NICU unit in our area. She LOVES it! She's been working with NICU babies for over 20 years!! We are getting together to make a Transport Unit cover (finally)!! She is the one who told me that they need much smaller blankets than the regular NICU unit because the babies are so tiny, they get all swallowed up in the regular NICU blankets and it's much harder to work with the babies in flight.
