Origins of the Cocoonababy Nest…
Cocoonababy Nest was originally developed in Marseilles, France.
By observing the needs of the babies she was treating, Danielle Salducci, started to design and make mattresses which would enable newborns to make movements similar to those made inside their mother’s womb.
The initial stage was to medically research and to determine a posture for the premature baby which could be described as a ‘follow-up womb’. The parameters were based on the vital functions (heart, oxygenation, and respiration), the sleep patterns and the level of the influence of stress on various pathologies. The second stage was the postural research. The ‘follow-up womb’ posture is determined by the support given, the way the baby is held tightly or ‘contained’ and the curled up posture of the child’s body.”
Danielle Salducci and the team soon realised that the benefits reaped by the premature babies would also apply to full-term babies.

When to use the Cocoonababy Nest?

Frequently Asked Questions

How to use Cocoonababy?

The physiological position already adopted by your baby before birth should be maintained after birth as much as possible in order to give them time to adapt to their new environment.

If you are looking for a way to make your new baby feel comfortable and safe, then you might want to consider an ergonomic baby cocoon. These cocoons are very popular among parents because they help babies sleep soundly and safely.

How to use the ergonomic baby cocoon:

1. Use the cocoon from newborn to approximately four months or until your baby can push up on his or her own.

2. Arrange your baby in the cocoon.

3. Adjust the fabric to support your baby’s back, legs and bottom, allowing for a slight bend of the knees.

4. Adjust the fabric over your baby’s chest to create a cosy, womb-like environment.

Can babies sleep in a Cocoonababy overnight?

The short answer is yes, but with some important caveats. The Cocoonababy nest is a terrific tool for newborns to help them sleep better. It can be used overnight in the very early days of your baby’s life, but it is not designed for use as a long-term overnight sleeping solution.

Our ergonomic baby cocoons are designed to mimic the feeling of being in the womb. They will help your baby feel more secure and comfortable in the first month of their life. Babies also tend to sleep better if they feel warm and comfortable.

Is Cocoonababy safe?

Cocoonababy is a nest for babies that helps to ensure safety and comfort. Our Cocoonababy products are safe to use from birth (from 2.8kg) until your baby can roll (approx 3-4 months) and has grown to over 50cm long. For use with a cot base in the lowest position and with a clear space above the cot mattress equal to or more than 50cm. However, do not use this product in a Moses basket, rocking cradle or pushchair carrycot.

When to stop using Cocoonababy?

The Cocoonababy can be used from birth until the child starts wanting to change position, usually at around three to four months old. This is because between 3 and 6 months, babies develop the ability to turn over and support their heads. They also start to try to sit up, which can be tricky in the Cocoonababy nest. Each baby is different, so it’s important to let your baby tell you when they’re ready. If they seem uncomfortable or unsettled in the nest, it’s time to move on!

Where to place a Cocoonababy?

The Cocoonababy nest was designed to be placed on a flat, firm surface such as the mattress of a crib. It is important to check that the mattress is positioned correctly (without gaps) and rests firmly against the foot and headboards. Cocoonababy is safe to use when placed inside a cot or cradle with sides at least 39 centimetres high (at least 20 centimetres higher than the nest). If used outside of a cot or cradle, it must be placed on the floor and never on a raised surface. To ensure safety, your baby must be placed on their back in the Cocoonababy nest. For safety reasons, babies should never sleep with any coverings on their head or face.
