The Eco-baby Nest
|
The
Eco-baby Nest is the next best thing after your loving arms. The
cradling effect of the baby nest provides a snug and secure place for
your baby to sleep when he or she can’t be in your arms. The gentle
movement created by the spring action resembles the movements inside
the womb and makes it a natural transition from the womb to the outside
world. It is especially soothing for restless babies, and helps relieve
the symptoms of colic. The stirring of your baby will activate the
spring and make waking up a slow and pleasurable experience, often
lulling your baby back to sleep. The Eco-baby Nest ensures that your
baby stays on their back, which is the preferred sleeping position to
limit the risk of SIDS. It also decreases the pressure on the baby’s
head, as there is no hard flat surface and the baby’s weight is
distributed evenly, decreasing the risk of flat spots.
The
Eco-baby Nest makes a perfect day-bed for co-sleeping parents who does
not want to spend money on a bassinette and/or cot. The Eco-baby Nest
can be hung from a hook attached to a doorframe or ceiling beam/joist.
With multiple hanging options in the house your baby can easily be with
you wherever you are. It is also the perfect outdoor bed for a day in
the yard or at the picnic or camping, as all you need is a secure
fixing point (e.g. a large branch) to mount the Eco-baby Nest.

The
material is 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton jersey. The natural undyed
fibre ensures your baby sleeps in a pure environment with minimal
chemical exposure. Hemp is cool in summer and warm in winter and very
durable. Wash using half as much detergent as normally.
The
spacer is made of hardwood for strength, and treated with linseed oil
for durability. It comes with comprehensive hanging instructions.
The
double-layered sleeping surface is open in one end and has a layer of
100% Australian felted (undyed) wool inside, which helps draw moisture
away. The felt can be removed for separate cleaning/ airing/ drying. A
bassinette sized lambskin (optional extra) directly under your baby
will provide extra comfort and help to further draw excess moisture
away. A folded
blanket or similar can be inserted to make a thicker mattress. Extra
layers can also be added to raise the head end further for babies with
reflux.

Safety considerations
It
is not recommended to add extra layers or material and blankets
directly under your baby as there is a risk of covering the baby’s
head. For the same reason it is recommended to use sleeping bags or
extra clothes instead of blankets to keep the baby warm. Also, bigger
sheepskin, such as natural shaped skins, is not suitable, as the
cradling walls of the baby nest may result in parts of the skin covering the baby’s head.

The
Eco-baby Nest is suitable for babies from newborn to approximately 6-9
months, depending on the size and development of the individual baby.
There is a closing mechanism for the foot end, a flap which can be
either stored away in the double-layered sleeping surface or add a
fourth 'wall' using buttons, as shown in several of the pictures. It is
however important to note that although closing this flap may slow down
a baby who developmentally may be able to get out of the Eco-baby Nest,
it is not a 'safety gate' as such. Therefore the Nest should not be
used without vigilant supervision, and special consideration taken when
baby have recently made developmental progress,
e.g shown signs of being able to roll over, sit up, crawl etc. Please
also take special care if other young children or pets can access the
Nest. |
