I have worked in the NICU for a long long time. We have quilters donate quilts all the time and also from the Linus Project. We use the quilts on top of the isolette and cribs for blocking the light. When the baby goes home they take the blanket or quilt home with them. We only use the isolette covers for the very very low birthweight infant but those don't go home with the baby at discharge. Those are very expensive but like I said we don't send those home with the baby. Some hospitals do things differently so follow her instructions.
