it's hard but...

You can't hold your baby 24/7.

As a mama who’s experienced both the NICU and life at home, and with five years experience as a midwife, I know the ache that comes when you can’t hold your baby every moment. Hearing their little cries and not being able to comfort them is heartbreaking. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help you bring calm and connection to your baby – so you can both feel close, comforted, and safe, even when you can’t be in each other’s arms.

traditional comforters were'nt made for nicu & beyond.

We created Ollie the Octopus to bring comfort where it’s needed most.

His soft tentacles mimic the feel of the umbilical cord, helping little ones feel safe and soothed while carrying the familiar scent of mum.

Handmade with care and designed for both hospital and home, Ollie is the only comforter you’ll ever need.

Hi, I’m Sharne, a proud medical mama to my son, Alfie. After experiencing the NICU firsthand, I created Little Brave Heart's (previously Darne Creations) to bring comfort, connection, and support to families like ours.

Every product is designed with love, inspired by real needs, and made to help little fighters feel safe and loved—because I know how much that matters.💖
