Cocoonababy® nest  Parents' feedback
Many parents have been keen to share their enthusiasm for the Cocoonababy® nest!

Here follow some of their comments:

"Thanks again for the Cocoonababy® nest, a revolutionary product in the world of babies. In it, Jonas is as he was when in my tummy - like a fish in water. To resume - when I place him, from time to time, on a baby bouncer or on a mat, he cries after 5 minutes and twists in all directions. In his nest, he is at peace. I’ve talked about it to all the mums-to-be I know. Well done Red Castle for this invention. " Déborah, mother of Jonas, Paris.

"Hello, I bought a Cocoonababy® nest for the birth of my son who was born a week ago and it is wonderful, in it he sleeps very well, as if in a cocoon (the name is very appropriate!). With his arms by his sides, he finds his thumb more easily. Far from being a gimmick, this mattress is great, thank you! "  Lucile, mother of Leo, Tassin la Demi-Lune.

"I must admit to being won over, my baby sleeps blissfully in this product!" Sophie, mother of Igor, Moscow.

"Our son was born a little early and thanks to the Cocoonababy® nest the transition from the womb went well. An excellent product which replies perfectly to the child’s needs in the first months of his life." M.G., Paris.

"I use the Cocoonababy® nest for my daughter who was born prematurely and I think it’s great. In it she adopts the right position and, as she regurgitated a lot, the Cocoonababy® nest has helped this to decrease during her sleep. Thanks for this wonderful innovation".
Anne-Laure, Cize.




HEALTH PROFESSIONALS TESTIMONIALS:


Dr Philippe Mayé, Pediatrician, Osteopath, Marseilles hospitals:

I testify that the Cocoonababy® concept for newborn babies is of considerable interest during early life: - it brings them instant physical comfort: it allows the wrong
positions adopted by the fetus in the womb to be corrected, particularly as these wrong positions tend to become worse over the first few months
- it enables them to gain an early advantage on both the psycho-affective and motor fronts as this position allows them to have a better interactive relationship with those around them thereby helping them to learn more easily
- it gives them an advantage later on because as the child lies in this correct, flexed position his sight and hearing sensory inputs and thus his proprioceptive functions are enhanced.. The Cocoonababy® nest will therefore be an excellent prevention for dyspraxia in the future (dyslexia, dyscalculia...). These problems appear when the child starts primary school and the neurosciences have now linked them to bad posture during the initial months.

Marie Schmitt, Psychotherapist, Specialized in Newborns, Aix-en-Provence

Thanks to the Cocoonababy® nest all newborns can benefit from the fruit of 10 years’ medical and postural research. In the first few months it will help them adapt from the aquatic environment in which they evolved into the aerial life in which they must live.

Dr Christian Palix, Head of the Neonatal Unit, Hôpital Nord, Marseilles

Besides the medical and strongly re-educational benefits from lying in the Cocoonababy® nest (helps to avoid hypertonia, misshapen heads, reflux ...) it also offers the following advantages:
- it secures the child’s sacro-iliac base and makes it easier for him to lie in a regrouped position with flexed legs, similar to his position in the womb;
- the young child’s body and head are postured in such a way as to encourage eye contact with those around him - his body being in a flexed position, the movements and
visualization of his upper limbs are optimized; - the posture obtained in the Cocoonababy® nest – which no other baby product or accessory can offer today - limits hyper extension and so dissipates the child’s fear of being “fragmented” (this feeling could be due to a difficult birth or discomfort in the womb).


Dr Jean-Michel Bartoli, Neonatal Paediatrician, Saint-Joseph Hospital, Marseilles

We have equipped the whole maternity clinic. Our aim is that no baby should ever lie flat on his back but always be correctly postured. Personally I use a Cocoonababy® nest when I examine all children younger than 4 months; the parents are surprised because their children cry so much less and are much more alert.

Roselyne Lalauze-Pol*, Lecturer in osteopathic perinatality, Paris

By lying a child in the Cocoonababy® nest: - it prevents the newborn putting himself into an over-
extended posture which can often happen if he is lying on a hard, flat surface; - it allows the child to make eye contact with those around him more easily; - it enables a flexed, adducted posture which encourages and facilitates early active prehension; - it avoids positional, postural plagiocéphalie which leads to numerous facial dysymmetries, which in turn can create problems with dental articulation later on.

In the field of prematurity, the use of the Cocoonababy® nest brings about a quite spectacular result: The child’s comfort is immediate, the psychomotor prehension starts again, and interactive relationships are facilitated.
As for the full term baby, he finds himself contained in a reassuring “envelope”, lying in an adducted flexed posture which relaxes all the tensions acquired during birth and in the prenatal period. This posture favours visual contact and interactive communication with the child. The examination of a baby is completely revolutionized because he is calm, feels safe and reassured and is at the height of his interactive capacity. If used daily, the shape of the Cocoonababy® nest will refrain the child from adopting a hyper extended posture which in turn encourages misshapen heads. In fact the nest will actually help to progressively reshape the head.
