CuddleCot
Giving Families the Gift of Time
Our dream is to have a CuddleCot in every birthing hospital in the US. We know first hand the importance of this device for families facing the unthinkable loss of a baby. To date, we have helped provide CuddleCots to 11 hospitals in Iowa and surrounding states.
Providing grieving families time through the use of the CuddleCot is internationally encouraged by midwives, bereavement practitioners and academics. Time allows the family to form an important bond with their baby and helps them in dealing with their loss.
Cooling the baby is absolutely essential. This is where the CuddleCot comes in. The CuddleCot cools to an ideal temperature for preserving baby without being too cold for the parents.
In use in thousands of hospitals across the world, the CuddleCot allows the family to spend precious time with their baby.
The CuddleCot keeps the baby cool and can be place in a basket next to the mother, in a bed or even in parents arms so parents can hold baby while being cooled. (CuddleCot Website)
Benefits of the CuddleCot
Quiet and Discrete: The CuddleCot uses whisper-quiet technology that produces a similar sound to a small desk fan.
Portable: The CuddleCot is very compact and lightweight at only 3.8kg (8.3lbs).
Non-medical look and feel: The CuddleCot allows baby to be cared for in any setting including a cot, moses basket or a bed. This allows families to see their baby in a normal environment for a baby that is not too dissimilar to what they would have at home.
Parent-friendly: The CuddleCot can be placed next to a bed at home or in the hospital. Parents are then able to look into the cot knowing that baby is being well cared for next to them.
Flexibility: The CuddleCot is compatible with any other cot/moses basket that a family wishes to use. In addition, the CuddleCot cooling pad can even be paced on a bed with the parents.
Transportable: The CuddleCot can be used in a hospital, at home, or in a funeral home.
Supports families: The CuddleCot enables families to be present with their baby, have more time and create memories whilst they are being cared for by their health care professionals.
Environment: The CuddleCot does not use traditional refrigeration processes or use any refrigerants. Therefore, no environmentally harmful pressurized refrigerant gas is used in the CuddleCot.
Easy to Clean: The CuddleCot can be cleaned with plastic safe sanitiser. The cooling pad can be cleaned with a hospital-approved sanitising cleaner. It is optional if the bedding is to be used with the CuddleCot, but it can be simply laundered after use.
Easy to Store: The CuddleCot is stored in the small bespoke carry case (supplied with every order). Unfortunately, there is a need for more than one CuddleCot to be available at a hospital. Therefore, storage space may be a consideration when storing multiple units.
Easy to Maintain and Service: The CuddleCot has very few moving parts, which lowers the risk of a breakdown. If there are any issues, we have a helpful servicing team, and it can be sent to us for repair.
