Cocoonababy Nest

Best baby purchase ever. I was recommended this for my reflux baby and it honestly saved me, I could put him down and he was happy. Also safe to sleep in! I’ve now lent it to two friends with babies and they are also in love!

Get one! – The best thing that I've ever purchased. Got one for our fourth baby and I can't recommend it enough. He has slept in it every night for 4 months and hes a big baby so it lasted longer than expected. He even loved just chilling in it during the day. I'm so sad that it's time to pass on the bed to a friend for her baby.

Causes flat heads – Our lo developed a flat head and we didn’t know what we had done wrong. Are second lo used the cacoonababy and we took extra precautions to avoid the same thing happening, yet here we are again. We now know why, when used do not leave your lo in long. Cacoonababy’s cause flat heads.

Awesome Baby Bed – We bought one of these to try as our daughter has some pretty gnarly reflux. I definitly think its helping her to have longer naps in her bassinet. Even if it wasnt really making a difference id still use it because it feels way cozier putting her down in that over a flat mattress. Would reccomend to anyone keen to try it!  Show details

Causes flat head! – They promote that it prevents flat head bur my son was in this and I also know 3 others who used it with their babies and they all got flat head! Not worth it. Show details

Better sleep :) – Bought cocoonababy around 3 or 4 weeks old, bub refused to be put down and wouldn't sleep anywhere other than our chests or her bouncer - and hubby was staying up all night to supervise her sleeping. She also refused to be swaddled with her arms in so the startling was an issue. The bouncer she liked was a snug rounded shape so we… Read more

thought/hoped/prayed cocoonababy, being similarly shaped, might work. It was an expensive gamble as nothing had worked yet.

Baby took to it immediately and has loved it ever since. She's 7 months old now and still sleeps in there. It made the transition from our room to her own at 6 months much easier as cocoonababy is now in her cot and she kept that familiar element. It also made holidays and naps at grandma's house etc so much easier.

There are claims that it prevents a flat head, this is not the case. At 3 months bub had a slight flat head (so slight I couldn't see it but the midwife could). It's corrected now without intervention.

For us there's no regrets she went from not sleeping independently at all to sleeping comfortably as soon as this mattress arrived. The scary part now is how to get her out of it without ruining her sleep. If there was a bigger version for older babies I would buy it in a heartbeat!

Gave my baby a flat head! Do not buy! – I purchased the Cocoonababy Nest For my 3 week old as the website said it would help with reflex and prevent a flat head. After 7 weeks in the nest, my baby has developed a flat head and is now unable to turn her head freely. After trying to get advice from the Cocoonababy team, I was told to give my baby more tummy time! My baby was already… Read more

getting enough tummy time 3-4 times per day. This was a patronising and unsympathetic response from Cocoonababy, especially to a first time mum. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!

This helped me get some sleep! – We bought the Cocoonababy when our baby was just a few days old and refused to sleep anywhere except on our chests. She also thrashed around when swaddled and would scream her lungs out in the bassinet. The Cocoonababy worked like a charm and she’s now 8 weeks old and loves sleeping in it day and night. I recognise that this mattress is not Red… Read more

Nose approved, however some products are a (very slight) risk worth taking in order to get sleep and be able to function as a human being and parent. I would encourage parents to read the info on the Cocoonababy website. For is it has been a sleep saver and I feel confident that she’s safe and secure.

Great value for money – I couldn’t have gone without it. The baby was able to sleep on the dinning table while we had dinner. We were also take it to numerous houses (parents/holiday home etc) the baby forever slept in complete comfort. Great value for money. Highly recommended. Show details

It helps when you need it – The cocoonababy definitely provides the help required for bubs to sleep and or feel comfortable / cuddled while sleeping. We had some issues with baby sleeping during the day for longer than 30min, so we got the cocoonababy and it’s helped. It fits quite well / snug in baby’s bassinet. In terms of safety I don’t see an issue, along with all… Read more

things use common sense and always supervise or have bubs supervised by either technology or your own eyes whenever you can.

Love this bed - lifesaver – This bed has been a lifesaver! My baby is super clingy and could actually get some sleep in this bed. We had her sleeping between us in our king size bed but was great knowing she was safe in her own space. Well worth the money! Show details

SIDS for Kids (now known as Red Nose) don't recommend – Red Nose ( prevously known as Sids for Kids) do not recommend this product or anything similar due to SIDS concerns, they still say the safest is still just a flat firm mattress that isnt inclined. Will be immediately returning product Show details

Absolutely worth every cent – We bought this after a few recommendations before baby was born. It was probably the best thing we purchased for our baby. We travelled a lot and it was so convenient to take anywhere. My son slept so well on it, and we could move it onto the lounge for day naps. I loved that we didn’t have to swaddle him for sleep in it as he felt comforted. I… Read more

highly recommend it to anyone before their bub is born. Fits in the bassinet. I was sad when it was time for him to transition out.

Not a good product – We bought this for our daughter to make sure she doesn't get a flat head. I liked the strap it gave me piece of mind knowing she couldn't get out or roll over. Unfortunately our daughter got really bad flat head with her head actually going upwards despite her moving her head on it. Not worth the money honestly. It certainly doesn't prevent flat head like it advertises. Show details

Works like a charm and gives you peace of mind – We have had this for weeks and take it to our parents any time we might stay over, our little girl is very strong so the belly strap gives us peace of mind that she wont roll. Show details

Money well spent, highly recommend! – My little guy was born early at 37 weeks and was a total snugglepot, esp at night would only sleep on me. After a few weeks of research I bought this and from the first night he loves it and sleeps for hours. It’s great for settling him in it too, rather than picking him up each time. I was skeptical at first, but could not be happier. As for SIDS… Read more

- no product is SIDS safe. Even if you have them on their back with no blankets etc there’s still a risk. He certainly can’t roll to the side in this, in the first 3 months. My dr’s midwife also says this is a fantastically designed and made product.

Not as good as I thought it would be – I purchased the cocoonababy online to use for my twins. They didn't like it. I started using it at 6 week mark. I think because they were so use to sleeping in a cot this was different to what they were use to. I just sat them in it when they were awake then they would squirm after a while wanting to be taken out. I wouldn't buy it again. Just stick to conventional sleeping methods, bassinet or cot.

Not SIDS safe at all! – As a health professional that works with new parents I questioned the Cocoona baby online about the safety of this sleeping device and about them posting that it is used in Melbourne hospitals. They told me it was used at Cabrini and RCH. I then asked some ex colleagues that work in these hospitals and they assured me that the Cocoona baby was… Read more

definitely not used in these hospitals. I then questioned Cocoona baby online about this and they suddenly blocked me!

One of the best mattresses you can buy for your baby – Look take away all the marketing of preventing reflux, optimal positioning and whatever else, that may or may not work for your baby. This is still a premium comfortable mattresses, at the very minimum it is just going to be nicer for your baby to sleep in than the cardboard crap that comes with bassinets and even the slightly thicker ones you can… Read more

add on.

For our baby, it didn't do much for reflux and stomach issues but overall he sleeps so much better. Just out of sheer comfort and he also picked up putting himself back to sleep very fast because when he fusses himself awake, at least it seemed he was still comfortable and ready to drop those eyelids again. On the mattress we had prior, eyes open meant another hour of pain putting him back down.

It seems expensive but you need to consider what you'd buy for yourself and why we subject our beautiful newborns to cheap flimsy mattresses.

This is NOT SIDS safe (maker never claims this btw), there is absolutely no such thing, that is the whole point of SIDS, we do NOT know what causes it, there is no such thing as being SIDS safe. There is only products that are designed to maybe help prevent SIDS from what we understand of it.

The only reason this would be unsafe in terms of SIDS is it's ability to be rolled over if your baby is a heavy mover or just getting to that age. However I have found that it fits rather snuggly in our bassinet and you couldn't roll it even with the most vigorous almost breaking your bassinet swinging. Using this by itself I wouldn't personally recommend, the roll factor is a big danger, you should try and see if you can setup it to be "walled in".

All in all, our baby sleeps better and longer with this mattress, couldn't recommend enough just at this level. If it also helps your baby with reflux and other things, I'm happy for you :)

Totally recommend! – We bought two of these for our twin girls and from day one they slept like angels in them. Honestly I don't know what we would have done without these beds. They are safe and SIDS approved!! They are a total must have for twins or babies with reflux. One of our twins had terrible reflux and would only sleep in her Cocoonababy bed, anywhere else… Read more

and she'd wake up choking.

Definite worth spending the extra money on these, I don't know what we'll do when they grow out of them.

Cocoonababy is excellent, my daughter slept through the night from 4 weeks old! – My parents bought this for us while I was pregnant. We weren't sure we would use it but when our daughter arrived I popped her in it the first night and she snuggled in. She absolutely loved it. From 4 weeks old she slept through the night and seemed to realise that once she was in the cocoon it was 'big' sleep time. At 12 weeks old our daughter… Read more

got a cold and the doctor recommended she not be placed flat on her back. Not sure how parents would safely put baby to bed with that advice, but for us it was easy, just pop her in the cocoon! It is quite expensive, however, as a new parent having the baby sleep through the night is priceless!

Excellent! – I recently purchased this to get my 5 week old to sleep in her bassinet. She always wanted to sleep in her bouncer. As soon as I bought this she is now sleeping in her bassinet! I wish I came across this when she was first born. Marie is very nice to deal with and went out of her way to get the cocoonababy to me ASAP. Would recommend to a friend. Like a cocoon
