Description of the mattress "Cocoon Baby"

Loving and caring parents to a newborn child buy a lot of goods designed to facilitate the processes of feeding, wearing and falling asleep. One of the innovative products for newborns are the products Cocoon Baby (CocoonaBaby) of the French company Red Castle. The products are designed taking into account climatic features and include models for all seasons. These are anatomical mattresses for beds, carrying, sheets and envelopes for walking.

Who needs a mattress "Cocoon Baby"

It is a mattress for children of the first months of life, in shape resembling a cocoon. Especially its purchase is recommended for babies with low weight (up to 3 kilograms) or premature babies.

Why cocoon?

The mattress was originally developed by leading specialists in the field of pediatrics and neonatology (the science of the first days of life of newborns ), taking into account the physiology and anatomy of small and premature babies. Later it was proved that the use of "Cocon Baby" and in newborns with normal weight helps to avoid many neurological diseases. After all, the correct development of the baby is possible only with the creation of certain conditions for this. And newborn babies with low weight and especially premature babies need a condition close to intrauterine.

The mattress "Cocoon Baby" for the newborn is made in a special way. The child's body is enveloped from all sides, repeating its shape, creating sensations close to the pressure of the walls of the uterus while the baby is inside the womb. In this case, the baby's legs are in a slightly bent position, above the head. The chin is pressed to the body, which does not prevent the child from turning his head and looking around. This is the most correct and physiological posture for newborns. The baby on the baby bed "Baby Cocoon" (photo), installed in a baby cot, can be around the clock.

Mattresses in the form of a cocoon are safe for the baby and are convenient for the mother during feeding. Mummy can take the child directly on the mattress and carry it to the parent's bed or keep on her lap. This creates an additional height and does not have to put your hand under the baby during breastfeeding.

Security measures when using Cocoonababy products

The product "Baby Cocoon" can be used not only for sleeping a baby, but also for carrying it to near distances. It should be remembered that the maximum time for finding crumbs during transportation in a cocoon should not exceed 1.5 hours. This is due to the fact that the child's backbone for a year has not yet fully grown and formed. Long-lasting vibration and movement can adversely affect the ligament bones of the newborn's spine. Problems that can arise are micro-traumas and deformations. That's why it is not recommended to use spring mattresses for babies.
