How to adjust the Cocoonababy® nest to fit your baby
1/ Remove the fitted sheet.
2/ Lie baby down in the nest on his back with his head placed close to the top
end of the nest (the narrow end is the top).
3/ Check the position of the wedge and change it if necessary so that it is right
up against baby's bottom and will stop him slipping down into the hollow of the
nest (fig.1). His legs will be higher up than his bottom (his body will be in a semi-
foetal position) and his feet will not be able to push against the edge of the nest.
This way he will not be able to hyper extend his body. We advise that you check
the position of the wedge very regularly as baby will grow quickly and the wedge
will need to be moved down towards the bottom of the nest. Remember that his
head should always lie close to the top of the nest.
4/ Take baby out of the nest and replace the fitted sheet.
How to use the Cocoonababy® nest
The nest should always be used with its own fitted sheet. The sheet covers both
the nest and the wedge, the labels on the sheet should be at the bottom end of
the nest, close to baby's feet (the bottom end is the wider one). Do not add a
towel or muslin cloth on top of the sheet as you may alter the slope of the nest.
Baby's head should always be placed close to the top end of the nest. As he
grows, however, you will need to move the wedge downwards until the day
baby's feet go beyond the bottom end of the nest – this is normal and you can
continue to use it (fig.2).
How to use the Tummy Band
Although we advise to stop using the Cocoonababy® nest well before a child
could turn over onto his tummy, to reassure parents we have designed the
Tummy Band – a band which encircles the Cocoonababy ® nest and the child
without hindering his movements.
1/ Lay the double band across the nest, the short band which will encircle the
child open towards you (fig.3)
2/ Encircle the nest with the long band and close it with the velcros on the side (fig.4)
3/ Lay your child in the nest and close the velcros on the short band making sure
that the band is lying under his armpits and around his tummy.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1/ When you put the Cocoonababy® nest into your child's cot, place it up against
the head of the cot.
2/ Do not cover the fitted sheet with a towel or muslin cloth as you may alter the
slope of the nest.
3/ In the Cocoonababy® nest your child will be warmer than if he were lying on a
traditional mattress. Do not overdress him. If you wish to use a sleeping bag you
may use the Red Castle Cocobag™ swaddle bag which was designed specifically
for use with the nest.
4/ After a few days' use you may get the impression that the foam nest has
changed shape but this is not the case. With your baby's weight the special cover
under the sheet stretches to fit the exact shape of the foam nest.
5/ To help your child's development always place playgyms or mobiles level with
his feet and never directly above his head. It is important that when a child is lying
on his back his gaze should be drawn towards his feet.
6/Please remember that for your child's health and safety the temperature in his
bedroom should be around 19°C/66.2°F.
7/ Your child should always be placed to sleep on his back with nothing near his
face.
8/Do not use blankets, quilts or downies until your child is more than 10 months
old.
9/ In spite of all advice given and precautions taken in order to reduce the risks of
SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) all the causes of this dramatic event are not
yet identified. The use of the Cocoonababy® nest is not a guarantee against SIDS.
10/If baby's attention could be attracted by a sound (e.g. Television) or drawn
towards a fixed source of light, it is important to vary the position of the
Cocoonababy® nest in the room so that baby does not continually turn his head
to the same side.
How to take care of the Cocoonababy® nest
The fitted sheet and the Tummy Band can be machine washed at 30C°/86°F. The
nest's protective cover should be wiped clean with a mild detergent. We
recommend that you do not take the nest out of this cover.
