Cocoon for the child

Every year, manufacturers of children's products are trying to make life easier for young parents. Moms and dads can use various useful adaptations with which the care of a newborn baby will be incredibly easy and enjoyable. In particular, a few years ago, a special cocoon for a newborn child appeared on the market of products for young mothers. In this article we will tell you what this device is, what are its advantages, and how to use it correctly.

What is a cocoon?

A children's cocoon is an ergonomic mattress, which, if desired, can serve as a complete replacement for a baby cot or a chaise longue. The pose taken by the infant in the cocoon is absolutely identical to its position in the mother's womb, so the baby is much easier to adapt to the new conditions for himself and sleeps much calmer.

In addition, this device has other advantages, namely:

• a cocoon can easily be taken with you to visit or to nature, without worrying about where the baby will sleep;
• the child in this device is very easy to rock, and after that it is not necessary to shift it into a crib;
• the position of the body that the child occupies in the cocoon promotes the correct formation of the posture and prevents the curvature of the spinal column;
• in the case of a joint sleep, parents can not crush a crumb if it is in a cocoon;
• This device can be moved from place to place without disturbing the child.

How to put the child in a cocoon?

Most young parents who first encounter such a device for some time can not understand how to put the child in a cocoon correctly. If the mattress has the right shape, the baby can be placed in the position on the back or on the side. Meanwhile, all the children in the cocoon can not keep the same pose for a long time, so they often take the most convenient position on their own.

How to feed a child in a cocoon?

Another question that almost always interests young moms is how to feed the baby in a cocoon. Of course, if the baby is on artificial feeding, no problem arises. However, if the mother feed her baby with a breast, it may be inconvenient for her to bend over the baby in order to feed him.

In this situation, every woman should make a choice on her own. Some mothers pull the baby out of the cocoon while feeding, and then put it back, while others find a position in which they can feed the crumb without inconvenience.

Most often, the lactating woman lies next to the baby and rises, leaning on one hand. In this situation, the child is easiest to reach the mother's breast and properly grasp the nipple.

Finally, many parents are interested in how to wean a child to sleep in a cocoon. This, indeed, can become a kind of problem, but nevertheless in most cases the babies abandon this adaptation on their own. Being in a cocoon during waking periods, a grown-up kid can not reach for toys and change his location, so he, without a doubt, quickly becomes uncomfortable with this "crib". So, gradually, the little one will disaccustom and sleep in a cocoon, having made a choice in favor of a high-grade children's bed.
