Necessity is the mother of invention. 

I imagine my business partner, Karen Barski, repeating this to herself as she sewed the first peanut shaped swaddle pod to quiet her screaming baby over twelve years ago. That peanut-shaped swaddle was later named the Woombie and has since sold over a million and won over twenty awards for innovation and design. It is, THE number one swaddle device on the market. Theres simply nothing as effective or beneficial to infant development than a Woombie.

Karen and I are pleased to announce the Woombie Sleepy Pod to our line of products for hospitals! The Woombie Sleepy Pod is based on the original Woombie that has calmed and comforted hundreds of thousands of babies and will hopefully be used in liue of those outdated, stiff newborn blankets that have been used since the dawn of time. 

How is the Woombie Sleepy Pod better?

• Mimics the womb while allowing range of motion
• Provides thermoregulation without risk of overheating
• Can be used and reused to save hospitals money
• Vital signs can be checked through the pod. Blankets have to be wrapped/unwrapped Q4 and startle baby from sleep
• Woombie Sleepy Pod allows range of motion in houlders and hips and promotes flexion
• Supports Family Centered Care initiative by being easy to use. Most families don't swaddle safely or correctly
• Meets AAP standards for safe sleep practices

Tell your hospital, Ob/Gyn, midwife, or birth center about the Woombie Sleepy Pod and request they carry them! They're currently available for pre-order only.

We get asked often by sales reps and distributors, "What's the pushback, if any, on the use of your product?"

I always joke, "Well, in the swaddle world, it's Bloods vs Crypts" meaning that clinicians and hospitals are either pro-swaddle or anti-swaddle and theres no middle ground. They're die hards either way. The irony of those that are against swaddling is that our product actully fixes ALL the issues they throw at us regarding traditional swaddling. 

Here's the naysayers platform against swaddling:

"Swaddling leads to cold shoulders and hips"

Woombie Med Pods has a patented peanut shape that allow range of motion in shoulders and hips.

"Swaddling can come loose, increasing the risk of suffocation"

Woombie Med Pods have NO moving parts and cannot come loose. They meet the AAP standards for safe sleep.

"Swaddling prevents babies from self-soothing"

Woombie Med Pods allow the infant to move within the confines of the swaddle to hands over heart, field goal, or side positions for comfort.

"Swaddling leads to frequent wrappy and unwrapping for vital signs and patient care"

Woombie Med Pods work around diaper changes, medical devices, treatment needs and allow easy access to patient without hyperstimulation. 

One of the voices behind the anti-swaddle movement is a very knowledgeable, skilled clinician, Dr. Rachel Moon. We'd be honored if Dr. Moon would be willing to review Woombie Med Pods and give us an opportunity to show her we support her goals by creating a safe, effective, and developmentally apropriate swaddle that provides continuity of care berween hospital and home and eases the transition from the womb to the world. 

Be well. Swaddle all, Chelsea Vail
