Small: minimum 4 footed sleepers and/or a blanket
Medium: minimum 5 sleepers and/or a blanket
Large: minimum 6 footed sleepers, or one blanket and 3 footed sleepers

**Please send AT LEAST the minimum amount of fabric required for each keepsake. If a small amount of supplemental fabric is required we can only offer plain white flannel.

We'll use the pattern on your fabric thoughtfully, add a handmade felt nose and safety eyes, and make your bear to your specified weight and length within a 5% margin.

This is our second bear with them and my kids both love them! They do feel heavier than they actually are but it is only because the weight is mostly in the bottom of the bear. I will admit the second one we got is much rounder and plumper than we expected but we understand that for the bear to balance it has to be. It is really nice for our kids and us to have something that can remind us of their weight and length at birth.

The bear turned out so great! The custom weight is the coolest part, and I can’t wait to give it to me son for his birthday.

I ordered this bear for my daughter to be made from her first baby’s newborn clothes. When it arrived I cried! It was beautifully made and customized with my grandson’s birth weight and length. When I gave it to my daughter, she cried too! ❤️

There is no doubt quality and care go into these bears. The design and measurements were spot on.

Exceeded my expectations. I was very impressed with the quality of my memory bear made of the clothes my son used to wear. My questions were answered quickly and I was given lots of updates. My bear was delivered before the expected date. I have nothing but good things to say about Nestling Keepsakes.
