Loved and trusted by Australian hospitals

Baby Made has helped families capture life’s most precious moments for over two decades, those tiny hands and feet that change so quickly. But behind our award-winning keepsakes lies something even more meaningful: a hospital-trusted system that began as a medical tool and has since become part of family memory-making across Australia.

The Inkless Print System we use today was originally developed for biometric identification in the United States. It is used in hospitals to capture the footprints of newborn babies safely and accurately. This tradition, dating back to the 1960s, has been a long-standing part of hospital life in maternity wards nationwide, combining early identification with the emotional significance of a baby’s first print.

These prints weren’t just practical; they became something deeply personal, a moment in time marked forever. Hospitals began offering them for medical records and as keepsakes, something special for families to take home and treasure.

Baby Made became the official distributor of the Inkless Print System in Australia, bringing the same safe, ink-free technology to families nationwide. While we introduced the system as part of our keepsake range, it quickly became apparent that it was more than just a product; it was a tool for connection, comfort, and legacy.

In 2020, our Inkless Print System expanded beyond the home. It was formally adopted by hospitals, neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), maternity wards, and palliative care services across Australia. Today, it’s a preferred supplier for healthcare providers who trust our system to help families create meaningful, mess-free prints, even in the most sensitive circumstances.

Whether it’s a baby’s first moments in the NICU, a family saying goodbye too soon, or simply a thoughtful gesture from hospital volunteers, our Inkless Print Kits provide a safe and gentle way to preserve a moment that matters. We are honoured that our system is used in bereavement care and grief support services, helping families hold on to a memory when words fall short.

Parents love our Baby Inkless Print Kit, the same inkless system preferred in maternity hospitals nationwide. Made in the USA and trusted by Australian hospitals, it’s non-toxic, mess-free, odourless and safe to use from birth. With over 200,000 units sold, it remains our most-loved product, recommended by healthcare professionals, loved by parents, and created with the highest safety standards in mind.

We’re proud to be part of these important moments, from the happy chaos of birth to the quiet, delicate spaces of remembrance and healing. At Baby Made, our mission has always been simple: to help families hold on to what matters most.
