Because they tell the story of ‘rainbow babies’.

Rainbow babies are infants that are born after a miscarriage, stillbirth, infant or child loss. 

They are called that because their birth is the rainbow that comes after the storm of grief and loss, bringing light and hope. 

All over the world, families are celebrating their beautiful rainbow babies and welcoming them into the world. We know these special bubs will bring so much joy.
