Introducing “The Zaky” ~ Newborn & Premature baby comfort pillow
La Toriana introduces “The Zaky”
Ergonomic & award-winning bonding, therapeutic, comforting, positioning aid, as well as transitional item.
It is a soft but heavy pillow that imitates the look, feel, weight, scent, and warmth of the parents’ hand and forearm. It assures proper positioning, helps with pain management and sleep, provides a sense of protection, and assists with the physical and psychological development of the child.
| It is all about feeling safe, loved, and protected: |
| When mums are pregnant, babies get four basic needs met from the womb: oxygen (breathing), warmth, nutrition, and protection. The lack of at least one of the first three is life threatening. At birth, babies that cannot do the first three on their own, they will get assistance from a machine (life support): if the baby cannot breath he is hooked up to a ventilator, if he cannot get warm he is placed in an incubator, and if he cannot eat he would have an IV or a feeding tube. Lack of PROTECTION, however, is not life-threatening but it is extremely important for his development. Protection, when not given by the womb, comes best from the touch, voice, boundaries, warmth, and scent given by the mother and father. No matter the size of the baby, he cannot comfort or position himself at birth, nor he is able to feel protected on his own - Contrary to popular believe, a baby is unable to “manipulate” the parents - sometimes all the baby needs is a hug and a touch that means “you are not alone”.
When the baby is not being held, The Zaky simulates the hands by weighing 500 grams, while providing boundaries, comfort, a soothing hand,allowing the baby to feel and a sense of protection 24/7.

| It is proven that babies sleep better with the Zaky: |
| As an adult, you can’t sleep when you are stressed - babies are no different - they rest better when they feel protected and comfortable,however, you cannot hold him or swaddle restraining his movement 24/7, so give your baby a pair of Zakys that feel and, if possible, smell like you, until is time to hold him again!
When you are busy or away, The Zaky simulates your presence and helps you bond with your
child. Moreover, it has been successfully used as a bonding and a non-medicinal pain management aid since 2001 in Neonatal Intensive Care Units. When you are not there, leave a scented Zaky to assure him that he is not alone. |
The Zaky is a must have for healthy newborns and for those children that are ill or hospitalised. It is also a favourite newborn baby gift, baby shower gift and a “Thank you” gift given by families to the hospitals that cared for their children
Excellent premmie baby comfort pillow, a premmie baby or newborn baby gift. Avaliable in the most popular cream, a soft pink or a soft blue, and in either a left hand or right hand.
