® nest, to reassure parents we designed the Tummy Band – a band which
e encircles the Cocoonababy® nest and the child without hindering
e his movements. This tummy strap has been created with a view to
preventing the child's very first movements which could not have been
anticipated, but, in no case does it restrain a child that is too old to be
r
placed in the Cocoonababy®.
e
1- Lay the double band across the nest, the short band which will
encircle the child open towards you (5).
2- Encircle the nest with the long band and close it with the velcros on
the side (6).
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 (7).
How to use the Cocoonababy® nest
The nest should always be used with its own fitted sheet. The fitted
sheet covers both the nest and the wedge, the labels on the fitted 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 fitted sheet or place
s
anything below the nest as you may alter the slope of the nest.

weight, the special cover below the fitted sheet stretches to fit the
exact shape of the foam nest. This is quite normal.
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.

temperature in his bedroom should be around 19°C / 66.2°F.

near his face.

10 months old.

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 17, 18, 20, 21).
11- When baby is awake, take him out of the Cocoonababy® nest. Play
with him, carry him in your arms or in a baby wrap carrier, put him in a
playpen, lie him on his tummy on a playmat (under the supervision
of an adult) (14, 15, 16) ...

The fitted sheet and the Tummy Band can be machine washed at 30°.
The nest's protective cover is machine washable at 60°. However, please
remove and replace this cover with great care to avoid snagging the
