Zaky's FAQs

FAQs from Moms:

12. Can I warm the Zaky?
 

Yes, placing it in the drier or in a towel warmer for a couple of minutes can warm the Zaky. The Zaky is safe to use directly on the skin of the baby.

13. How does the Zaky help with my baby's posture?
 

It provides support to the shoulders, hips and legs on the stroller, swing, bouncy chair, etc. or when lying on the side, prone or supine.  The most comfortable position for your baby is when the spine is straight or in a fetal position.  Babies do not have the ability to position themselves, so use the Zaky to provide help and comfort.  In the carseat, support the baby by placing it on the sides of the baby to provide support and protect the spine.  Keep away from the face.

14. Can I use it in the car seat, bouncy seat, strollers or the swing?
  Infant car seats are designed for babies that are up to 22 pounds, so the new born baby will be too small for the seat.  Use two Zakys, one on each side of the baby to support from the shoulders to the hips to the legs with the forearm and the hands touching the feet.  In the Car Seat, for safety reasons, do not use it under the baby or as head support as the car seat comes with a crash-tested head support.
It can be safely used in strollers, swings and every place that the baby is sitting up to reduce the strain on the spine. 
15. Why are boundaries to important for babies?
 

Babies are warm, protected, and cozy in the womb. When they arrive they like to feel those boundaries and that is one of the reasons the babies rest better when a hand is placed on top.  Towels and blankets help but they do not provide the weight and support of the Zaky.
