CocoonaBaby.

Wow, I am so sorry I did not have this for my babies! My sister introduced me to CocoonaBaby about 3 months ago. I was pretty stunned when I saw it as I thought there was nothing you could buy for a baby that I hadn’t bought for my own – I am a bit of a shopaholic! I must admit, looking at her little baby girl all snug and safe, I was very impressed.

Basically, CocoonaBaby is a type of mattress which is specifically designed for babies. It is used in some maternity wards as well. The idea is to re-create the close snug feeling the baby would have in the mothers womb. The semi-foetal position is easily facilitated and the mattress somewhat ‘cradles’ the baby.  I can totally see how this would work and wish they came in adult sizes – I would just love to climb onto one of these at night!

CocoonaBaby claim to help baby sleep better and for longer and that this ‘containment’ reduces the little jumps and twitches babies tend to make adjusting to their new surroundings after birth. It also claims to reduce the flat head some babies can have from sleeping on a traditional mattress.

My sisters baby suffers from reflux and it is amazing how comfortable her baby is on this mattress and how easily she can be raised up to help her settle after feeding.  This has got to be one of the best baby products I have reviewed. Very well thought out, a truly ingenious product. A fitted sheet is supplied with a CocoonaBaby and further sheets can be purchased online.

Suitable from birth upwards until the time baby begins to change position independently (approx. 4-5 months)
