Red Castle CocoonaBaby Nest is an ergonomic cocoon which repositions the child in the semi-foetal position he adopted in his mummy’s tummy. Welcoming baby gently into the world, providing him with a comforting, reassuring, well-defined space which reminds him of his mother's womb. The Cocoonababy® helps the newborn to adapt as best as to possible life following birth.The semi-foetal, slightly curved position which baby adopts in the cocoon, soothes him, reassures him and helps to limit the onset of the principal troubles which may bother him during his first months. How does the Cocoonababy® Nest promote such deep sleep? A feeling of peace and calm, in a space reminiscent of the mother’s womb… Thanks to the enveloping shape of the ergonomic nest, your baby lies in a semi-foetal position, which helps to reassure baby and promotes deep sleep. The contact of baby’s shoulders and arms against the cocoon limits the effect of the Moro (‘startle’) reflex, preventing unnecessary disturbances during your baby’s natural sleep cycles. A combination of supportive and reactive foams, allowing baby to move freely and safely (unlike memory foam)… Freedom of head movement limits the risk of plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome). A comfortable body alignment — especially the head, hips and shoulders… The cocoon’s slightly inclined position helps prevent and relieve symptoms of gastric reflux and colic, while the positioning of the hips and knees is ideal for baby’s physical development. When baby is awake, the slight incline also encourages interaction between you and your baby, as they don’t stare directly up at the ceiling. An ergonomic design that evolves as baby grows… The cocoon ‘wedge’ is repositionable with simple velcro fastenings and can be easily adjusted as baby grows, then later removed when it is no longer necessary. A perfectly hygienic mattress… The Cocoonababy® foam is protected by two removable, breathable and washable covers: A waterproof protective cover, and a fitted cotton sheet. Look at the position of the baby in and out of the nest. It is clear to see that the baby’s position in the nest is optimal for both comfort and support.
