This week I am happy to introduce another reader favorite product – The Zen Swaddle by Nested Bean.  I love this product as it aligns perfectly with my sleep philosophies and sets the stage for having success with future sleep coaching.

 

The Benefits of The Zen Swaddle™

Guest Post By Nested Bean

 
The Zen Swaddle™ mimics  touch. Touch is proven to soothe babies as it triggers a self soothing response and improves the ability of infants to regulate stress and fall asleep.
The lightly weighted parts of the swaddle apply gentle pressure to your baby’s sides and center to mimic being held.  The  Zen Swaddle™ creates a calm environment and helps to solve some common newborn sleep problems for babies 0-6 months.

The Zen Swaddle^TM mimics mom’s touch through three lightly weighted areas: on each side where your hands would be if you were cradling your baby and on his or her chest where moms instinctively place a reassuring palm. This unique construction allows babies to calm, soothe and sleep for up to 2 additional hours at night.

Research shows that touch, whether person-to-person or simulated by an object:

• Triggers a self-soothing response

• Increases the ability to regulate stress

• Even promotes physiological growth and boosts immune response
