Although this year we have already donated to Wessex Cancer and Naomi House we have now chosen our charity for the next 12 months or so, This one is very close to our hearts for several reasons, when our Son Andy was born 27 years ago he spent a couple weeks in the special care until at Southampton and we always planned to help newborn care in some way and over the years we have. Now that we photograph newborn babies with our Baby jp Hampshire newborn photography and we get to meet so many newborns that have benefited from neonatal care we thought it was a perfect time to support ickle pickles. You can read all about the amazing work that ickle pickle does using our links below and you can help by sponsoring Jules for his first ever 10K run in a few weeks using the links below too.
Project 1. Marwell 10k May 12th 2013
Well you heard it
I am running the Marwell 10K in May in aid of the amazing newborn baby charity ickle pickle which is IMO one of the most amazing things to be involved with. You can read all about their amazing work here.
Advances in Neonatal medicine have realised incredible improvements in survival rates – in 1975, half of all babies born weighing less than 1.5kg (3.3 lbs) died. Compare that to today where over 90% of premature babies weighing 800g or more (equivalent to a bag of sugar) survive.
Over the same period the pressures on Neonatal care have spiralled due mainly to the expanding population of the UK and an increase in multiple births as fertility treatment has improved. With NHS budgets being continually squeezed there is a real and tangible need for public donation and support for neonatal care.
The Ickle Pickle Partnership turns gifts and donations from generous people into specialised equipment such as incubators and ventilators to help Neonatal units provide incredible levels of care for Ickle Pickles.
I am both proud and very pleased to be helping such a worthy charity, here at Baby jp newborn photography we get our fair share of premature babies and some of them have been helped in a big way by Ickle Pickle so this charity really does effect us.
Where better to start than at then very beginning……….
Please sponsor me, every pound counts but like I always say “a tenner counts better”
Thanks all X

Here are a few of our very own iclke pickles
The Beans Noah and Florence
Kerry came for a baby bump shoot when she was expecting her twins then affectionately known as the Beans which has still stuck to this day Well very unexpectedly a couple of days later the Beans were brought into this world at 33 weeks and received help from ickle pickle. We met the Beans very early on but never really got to photograph them until they were a year old,
Here is Noah and Florence, 2 beautiful full of life babies.
Jemma
Jemma’s Mummy and Daddy contacted up half way through there pregnancy to book Jemma in for a Baby jp newborn shoot but little did we know that Jemma would arrive at 36 weeks and a tiny 4lb 1oz and she looked ever so tiny. But thanks to the fantastic care and to ickle pickle Jemma was soon home and yup to see us here at Baby jp Newborn photography in Southampton for her shoot.
Here is a photo of Jemma just after she was home from Hospital, like most of our babies we still keep in touch with Jemma’s Mummy and Daddy and I am pleased to say she is doing very well.
Kian
Kian was born 10 weeks early at 3lb 2oz and spent almost 7 weeks being looked after at the QA and Lisa tells me that the care was amazing, It was Lisa (Kians Mummy) that inspired me to run for Ickle Pickle and she was delighted that we have now chosen to support them for the whole of 2013. Kian came to see us at Baby jp newborn photographer when he was a few months old and we had a lovely shoot, I am very happy to say that he came back last week for his first birthday shoot and his “smash the cake shoot”
Here is the amazing little chap.
