No more blue & pink blankets, pleaseGone are the days of the pink and blue horizontal striped blankets in the newborn nursery that have been used since the 1950s and in with the Woombie Sleepy Pod™ by Barski Vail Designs, LLC. Created by two medically minded twin moms, Karen Barski and Chelsea Vail, the Woombie Sleepy Pod™ is the new "thing" in newborn nurseries!
The Woombie Sleepy Pod™ features a patented peanut-shape design that mimics the womb to ease baby's transition from the womb to the world whilst providing thermoregulation, safer sleep, flexion and bone fusion. As if that wasn't enough, the Woombie Sleepy Pod™ can also be used for procedural support! Swaddle newborns in the Woombie Sleepy Pod and pull ONE heel out for heel stick while baby snuggles up close to their caregiver. Need to do eye drops, place an NG tube or perhaps complete an EEG? Simply swaddle baby in a Woombie Sleepy Pod™ rather than papoose, or restrain, and hold baby safely in place using Sweetease or gentle shushing throughout the procedure. Circumcisions can be completed while newborns are swaddled in the hands over heart™ position in the Woombie Sleepy Pod™ and the bottom half of baby is exposed using the double zipper feature! Reach out to info@barskivaildesigns.com to inquire about purchasing Woombie Sleepy Pods™ for transport, ER, Mother/Baby, midwifery practices, PICU, radiology or even Hem/Onc. We want to see the Woombie Sleepy Pod™ in every procedure room and children's hospital worldwide. Created by moms for moms, Chelsea and Karen The Woombie Bili pod™ has been successfully providing developmental care for newborns undergoing phototherapy for jaundice since 2017. It's patented peanut-shape mimics the womb, keeps baby in the optimal hands over heart™ position and allows range of motion in the shoulders and hips. But, what sets the Woombie Bili pod™ apart from the competition- FULL luminosity. No other swaddle on the market allows 94-98% luminosity to reach the skin.
But, now the Woombie Bili pod™ is being used to provide developmental care and comfort to the NOWS babies suffering withdrawal symptoms! US hospitals have started clinical trials with the help of their sales reps at International Biomedical to show that babies born addicted to opioids can be safely swaddled in the 360 degree meh in hopes of decreasing likelihood of overheating, decreasing tremors or seizures, and increasing periods of rest. The Woombie Bili pod™ can be disposable or reusable and supports neonates and newborns during phototherapy, cooling treatment and withdrawal. Reach out to sales@int-bio.com to inquire about purchasing. Barski Vail Designs COO, Chelsea Vail, began her career as a Child Life Specialist. During her time in childrens hospitals, she covered PICU, day surgery, Hematology/Oncolgy over four years, NICU, and trauma centers outpatient. Regardless what unit she was assigned to, there were infants on these inpatient units. Chelsea's job was to provide developmental care, procedural support, and support the families during their stay. Flash forward ten years, she partnered with Karen Barski, creator and owner of Woombie, the patented peanut-shaped swaddle for home use that had sold over a million withough a single safety recall. Chelsea wanted the Woombie in hospitals to support the patients and families she'd once worked with and worked with Karen to revise the home-use version for hospitalized infants to work around medical devices and treatment needs. Woombie Med Pods was born! These 360 degree swaddles provide the care Chelsea was once providing as a Child Life Specialist. Chelsea and Karen are not only both seasoned medical professionals, but also mothers AND certified Infant Care Specialists. We are passionate about developmental care in hospitals for ALL units that serve the infant population. So, we've created a hospital certification program for Best Practices in Infant Care. Our hope is that hospitals will seek to improve their current methods of care for infants and only use the safest products and resources to support patients and families. Becoming certified is free of charge, easy to apply, and education/training is accesible digitally. Become a Platinum Level Infant Care Provider to set your hospital team and healthcare system apart from the rest! Families have a choice where they deliver AND where they have their baby cared for when admitted for treatments; its time to step up the game!

"How has noone invented this already?!" says a baffled nurse when being shown the Woombie Bili Pod, swaddle for babies with jaundice being treated with phototherapy and works around lines and leads for preemies and term infants. "You realize your competition is paper right?" says the product manager of a phototherapy device start-up who was in shock after seeing the Woombie Bili Pod at the AAP conference. The paper swaddle is disposable and falls apart very easily versus the Woombie Bili Pod that swaddles infants 360 degrees in a patented peanut-shape to mimic the womb and allow range of motion in shoulders and hips. "I have been a neonatologist over twenty-years and I've never seen a swaddle with full luminosity like this one!" said a NICU doctor who tested the luminosity using her phototherapy machine. The Woombie Bili Pod allows full luminosity, contrary to its competitors allowing only 74-85% luminosity. "The bili pod really did improve the overall hospital experience," reported the mother of a two day old baby boy treated at St. Davids south for hyperbilirubanemia. The baby had developed a rash from the mat cover being used initially, but it cleared within 24 hours of using the Woombie Bili Pod. "We were thrilled to discover the Woombie Bili Pod swaddles our NAS population," said Harvard educated neonatologist who has been successfully swaddling infants withdrawing from opioid addiction at the childrens hospital. "The Woombie Bili Pod is genius" says Leslie Brake, RN in south Texas. Email info@barskivaildesigns.com to find the sales rep and distributor in your region of the US or country of origin. Most hospitals order ten to trial and quickly move to purchasing hundreds to serve their wee patients! Swaddle every baby for comfort, decrease triggrering the moro reflex, and assist with safe sleep. Boundaries prevent the "lost in space" feeling the baby like the one above is experiencing unswaddled.
