The
ZakyŽ is the award-winning bonding, therapeutic, and positioning
pillow, ergonomically designed to assist parents and their children
feel closer to each other.
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.
Scent it - place it on the chest for a night or with a drop of perfume/after-shave
Warm it - in the dryer or towel warmer for a few minutes
Wash/Dry it - in the washing bag provided
Control the weight and firmness - by shifting the filling
The Zaky is the only product specifically developed to have the scent of mom, so it help babies bond with their mothers even when they are away from each other.
It is the only product designed to stay with the baby to give him/her
comfort and a sense of protection when he/she changes environments
(hospital, car, home, sitter, child-care, etc). It is fully washable
(comes with its own washing bag) and it is made with extremely high
quality workmanship.
Several things were the inspiration for the Zaky:
- The need to bond parents with the babies when they cannot be together.
- The
resourcefulness of the nurses as they rolled towels, used stuffed
animals and improvised other items to provide babies with boundaries,
comfort, a sense of security and support when they are not held or
touched. The items used were not very efficient, and some even created
a safety hazard to the baby as they could not be washed. None involved
the mother in the care of her child.
- The
knowledge that hands help babies – it can be seen in the monitors - and
that leaving the scent with the baby gives reassurance, a sense of
protection and comfort.
- The need to
provide the babies with something familiar and constant. An item that
would help the babies decrease the association of touch with pain, and
movement with stress. The Zaky provides boundaries and a soothing touch
that also helps in the transition between environments.
The ZakyŽ is a must have for healthy newborn babies and for those children that are ill or hospitalized.
It is also a favorite shower gift and a “Thank you” gift given by
families to the hospitals that cared for their children. Corporations
also use them to welcome new members in the families of their employees
– there is no better way to get noticed than by giving a Zaky!
