The Cocoonababy nest was originally developed for premature babies on the neonatal ward of the North Hospital (Hôpital Nord) in Marseilles, France. As time went by, the medical team realised that full term babies would also benefit and a nest for full term infants, for use in the first four months was developed. The semi-foetal position helps baby sleep longer, avoid startle reflex, limits the risk of flat head and helps with reflux. The Cocoonababy is now available from Jelly-Bean in Douglas, Cork, €169; www.jellybeangroup.com
