- The “Front Safety Ridge” is designed to protect Baby from parental roll-over.
- The “Breast Shelf” supports the breast, creating direct nipple-to-mouth alignment.
- The “Baby Headrest” prevents "flat head" as Baby is safely positioned on his side.
- “The ‘Shoulder/Arm Contour’ of the Nursing Nest™ creates proper neck and spinal vertebral alignment - thus allowing maximum comfort for the breastfeeding baby.” Stated by Doctor of Chiropractic Thomas Clarke.
- The “Back Support” of the Nursing Nest™ keeps Baby from rolling away from Mom and provides a protective barrier from a sleeping spouse.
Recommended Age: Babies like routine. The Nursing Nest works best from birth on to approximately 7 or 8 months. You can generally Table Top breastfeed for many months beyond that. Once your baby is strong enough to roll over, do not depend on the "Nest" to keep him in position. Babies are stronger than they look!
Switching breasts:While in the side-lying position, a slight shoulder shift allows mom to breastfeed from her other breast, with no need to roll over. This is helpful for C-Section moms. Baby can continue breastfeeding without interruption. The patented mirror-image cut of the Nursing Nest™ can cradle Baby on his right or left side, so, Mom can choose to lie on the side that's best for her.
Healing Incisions after delivery: For moms who have had a Caesarean-Section or an episiotomy, the Nursing Nest™ provides comfort for a relaxed breastfeeding experience. Cradle position can be painful, as the baby’s weight adds pressure on the incision. This pressure may also cause possible tearing. The Nursing Nest™ offers a variety of breastfeeding options: The lie -down position, table-top nursing™ and the clutch hold, all offer comfortable alternatives. After Mom has had time to heal, sitting up to breastfeed is safer with the Nursing Nest.
Hospital to Home: Mom can feel safer and more relaxed while bonding with her newborn in the Nursing Nest in her hospital bed. The sturdy yet cushy structure of the Nursing Nest helps protect Baby should Mom dose off to sleep. Waiting for a nurse to arrive when Baby is crying in the acrylic crib can be frustrating. The Nursing Nest helps avoid stress for Mom and Baby.
*For added peace of mind ask the nurse for an extra bed pillow to place between the "Nest" and the bed rail.
Adoptive Parents: This wonderful pillow is perfect for adoptive moms or bottle-fed babies too. With dedication, adoptive Moms can lactate. She and baby can lie side by side and face to face to bond while breastfeeding or bottle feeding.
Preemies: Premature babies need extra protection. The Nursing Nest helps provide that protection. Additionally, some medical professionals recommend that a premature baby sleep on his side. The Nursing Nest is an effective tool to safely cradle any baby on their side. The front safety ridge keeps them from rolling onto their tummys.
Safety Factor - While breastfeeding in bed, always place the Nursing Nest™ in a safe area of the bed. Never place your "Nest" near the edge of the bed. If you sleep in a small bed, purchase a "Bed Rail" to keep your Nursing Nest securely on your bed. Although the Nursing Nest™ provides a safety barrier between the baby and parents, always exercise caution when using The Nursing Nest™. It is not intended to replace Baby's bassinet. If either parent is obese, or if either parent has consumed alcohol or drugs, DO NOT bring the baby into bed with you. If either parent is a "restless" or "heavy sleeper" or if you sleep on a water bed, do not sleep with your baby in bed with you. Your baby needs time to grow and gain strength, provide for your baby wisely. |
