When a baby is cruelly taken away from a parent they find themselves with nobody to hold; which is why many bereaved parents buy (or are given) mementos by which they can remember their loss.
These mementos can take a number of forms, and there is no limit to how many there are: for example, Knitionalist on Twitter said that she had 'a Sands box with his hospital bracelet, lock of hair, vest he wore, muslin square he was wrapped in, foot/handprints, pics, cards...I have also kept my bottom drawer full of little socks, bibs, vests, shoes, hats, etc.'
