PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — The patients at Women & Infants Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are celebrating their first Halloween in style.

The babies’ Halloween costumes were handmade by volunteers with the organization Project Sweet Peas to fit around any medical devices they might have.

“The costumes help lift the spirits of families who spend weeks, and often months, in the hospital,” a spokesperson for Care New England said.

Each family was also given a small Halloween gift bag.
