As the temperature drops and the nights get longer, every parent’s priority becomes keeping their baby warm, safe, and comfortable while they sleep. Newborns are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature, and ensuring they get quality rest during winter can feel like a challenge.
Enter the Cocoonababy® Nest - a revolutionary sleep solution designed by French neonatal experts to promote better sleep and development for babies aged 0–3 months. Wondering how it fits into your winter sleep routine? Here’s everything you need to know.
What Is the Cocoonababy®?
The Cocoonababy® Nest is an ergonomic cocoon-shaped mattress that supports your newborn in a semi-foetal position, mimicking the snug environment of the womb. It helps reduce startle reflex, soothes digestion discomfort, and encourages longer, more restful sleep.
Its design naturally reassures babies, which is especially comforting during colder, darker months when the shift in environment can feel more dramatic for little ones.
Why the Cocoonababy Is Perfect for Winter
Snug & Secure
In winter, babies need extra warmth without overheating. The Cocoonababy gently wraps your baby in a snug environment that limits unnecessary movement, helping them stay comfortable without bulky layers.
Supports Safe Sleep
Winter often tempts us to add extra blankets or bedding, but that can increase SIDS risks. The Cocoonababy eliminates the need for loose blankets by offering a well-contoured sleeping space when paired with a safe swaddle or sleep bag
Improved Sleep Duration
With its ergonomic design, the Cocoonababy helps reduce reflux, startle reflex, and colic—common culprits for broken sleep. A more settled baby means better sleep for everyone in the household (yes, even in the chilly 3 a.m. hours).
Portable for Cozy Naps Anywhere
Whether you're at home or visiting family for the holidays, the Cocoonababy is easy to move around. Place it in the bassinet, cot, or next to your bed—it’s designed to keep baby secure and settled wherever you are.
