Every baby needs and loves to be held.
While this is not unique to the infant with
special needs, how to satisfy these needs
can be challenging.
Premature
Baby
Safe, appropriate and ergonomic support
for a tiny infant.
Promotes vestibular development by providing
boundaries and movements that mimic the
environment of the womb.
Access to caregiver's heartbeat, voice,
scent and warmth promotes optimal development.
Appropriate height for eye
contact and visual stimulation with caregiver's
face.
Helps to position
the tiny infant for breastfeeding.
Baby
With Position Requirements
An infant with cerebral palsy
can have one leg flexed and held within the
comfort of the CuddlyWrap™.
Allows baby with hemiplegia
to have safe positioning of affected side.
Provides tactile and vestibular
stimulation for infants with visual impairments.
Provides visual and vestibular
stimulation for deaf or hard of hearing infants.
Delayed Motor Development/Mobility
Enables the caregiver to meet
the needs of a toddler by carrying the child
in a comfortable manner.
Enables the caregiver to meet
the toddler’s needs to be carried/held
due to decreased function caused by disease
– for example, the toddler with cancer
who has stopped walking.
Baby Requiring Increased
Sensory Input
Enables the baby to move with
their caregiver, stimulating and challenging
their vestibular system in a safe environment.
These babies may be more difficult to soothe
or comfort; and meeting their needs for increased
sensory input can help them settle more easily.
