Snoedel
is the original sleeping and bonding aid for babies completely handcrafted
in the United States by moms, grandmothers, and female college students
under newborn-safe conditions (environments free of tobacco
and perfumes). It is comprised of 100% natural fibers and has been
safe for use with all babies including newborns, premature infants,
and other babies in Neonatal Intensive Care units.
Creation and Care of the Snoedel
The very first was created by a Dutch woman inspired
by the birth of a friends premature infant. The Dutch word
snoedel means snuggle. The body is 100%
cotton flannel, the head is stuffed with pure clean and carded sheeps
wool; Snoedels can be safely machine washed and dried. After being
washed, a Snoedel should be re-infused with the parents scent.
Snoedels Facilitating Adoption
Snoedels can be used during the adoption process
to begin the bonding between baby and parent, while waiting for
delivery of the child. This can be especially helpful in international
adoptions, when waiting periods are longer and language and cultural
diferences may add additional barriers between the baby and its
adopting parents.
How Snoedels Work
Recent research suggests that just an hour after
birth a newborn can locate his mothers nipple by sense of
smell. In addition to bringing comfort and reassurance, the sense
of smell is one of the first things that bond a baby to its parents.
Snoedels bring comfort as aromatherapy of
the very best kind - the scent of a mom. They are designed
specifically to absorb and retain a mothers (or fathers)
scent. Then when held or placed near a newborn or infant the scent
is slowly released to comfort the baby, thus improving sleep, aiding
in bonding, and soothing a babys crying or distress. A parent
(preferably the mother) should sleep with the soft Snoedel for a
couple of nights prior to giving the Snoedel to the baby.
