Comforting
Unscented so the mom or any family member can scent it by placing it behind the neck for an hour or two, or sleeping with it on the chest for a night. Older siblings may scent it so they feel more involved in the care of the baby that is getting all the attention
It may be used on top, around and under the baby to provide boundaries, and it helps positioning the baby while he/she is sideling, prone, or supine
Babies feel reassured as if someone is touching them, which assists in their need of feeling protected
The size and weight simulates the hand of the mother
Parents feel as they are leaving one hand with their baby, helping them feel more involved in the care of the patient
It assists your child care providers as the Zaky comforts the baby and reduces anxiety
It assists with the transition to different environments as it gives something constant and reduces the baby’s shock of experiencing different lighting, scents, sounds, temperature, etc.: within the hospital, from the hospital to the house, in the car seat, from the house to someone else’s house.
Versatile
Depending on the size and the condition of the baby, the nurse or mom can select how much filling/weight to place on the hand and on top of the baby
When a firm roll is needed (to keep the baby on his side, under legs, etc), hold the Zaky vertically with the hand on the top, (all the filling in the arm) and then fold the hand to keep the filling on the arm side and place it horizontally on the back of the baby
Great for keeping the baby sideways while breastfeeding in bed and holding the baby on his/her side
