Here is Matilda Mae looking very happy playing on her Poddle Pillow!

The Poddle Pillow is a new baby cushion for use from birth to approximately six months. The pillow is designed to keep baby safely positioned on their backs for sleep and for interactive play. It is a space that can be used by Mummy to place Baby knowing that they cannot roll out. The pillow is designed to snuggle the baby in a comfortable, comforting safe way.

Poddle Play!

This is one product that I wish had been around when Esther and William were born. This is the perfect present for a premature baby when they first come home. In fact, I plan to give this one to a very special little lady currently in NICU, ready for when she goes home.

The Poddle Pillow provides a safe, secure feeling for Baby when they cannot be in their mummy’s arms. The Poddle Pillow can be used on its own or in a crib or moses basket. I remember my tiny twins looking so lost in their cots when they came out of hospital, this pillow would have provided them with a nest within their cot and I think they would have found it reassuring, and I know that I would have done too.

The Poddle Pillow

The Poddle Pillow was designed to meet an infant’s need to feel secure and a mother’s need to know her baby is safe and comfortable. When a baby is laid on top of the pillow, the sides gently pull in to hug them, making them feel as if they are still being held or touched. This comforts the baby and ultimately makes them more content when parents need to lay them down. This design also helps prevent the baby from rolling or turning, easing your mind and giving you the confidence to take care of yourself. The Poddle Pillow features a non-padded centre Pod. When a baby is laid on top of this area, the sides of the pillow will gently pull in to snuggle the baby. This gives them the sensation of being held or touched, allowing them to feel secure even after they are laid down.

For Matilda The Poddle Pillow is somewhere nice to lie for a nappy change, to get dressed, to play with her siblings or for a five minute kick about while mummy pops to the loo! We all do from time to time! At four months she seems too big to sleep comfortably on the pillow but has definitely provided her with a safe haven where she can relax. It has provided Esther and William, aged 2, with hours of imaginative play as they think the Poddle is a boat!

Relaxing on my Poddle!

We have also tried to use The Poddle Pillow as part of our tummy time routine but Matilda does tend to be able to roll off now that she is confident front to back roller!! Though she seems to think this is very funny and likes to do it again and again.

When positioned in the centre pod of The Poddle Pillow Matilda cannot roll out and I would feel confident allowing her to sleep on the pillow if she were not as big as she now is.

This pillow is perfect for small babies to feel cocooned while asleep. It looks like a great soft place to take a nap. It comes with a fleecy liner which ensures that the pillow is warm and soft and if Mummy wears the fleece lining for a day then the pillow will also have mummy’s scent making it even more appealing to a newborn babe.

The Poddle Pillow is handmade and comes in a lovely storage sack.

It really is beautifully presented and would make a perfect gift for a new mummy and her precious little bundle. This is something that Baby can use from their very first day. It is machine washable and so can be kept hygenically clean which is so important especially to premmie mums.

The Poddle Pillow provides a comforting and familiar hug that helps babies stay content, reducing the startle reflex and creates a cosy space that minimizes that reflexive movement that often wakes new babies. This allows babies to get the rest they need during this very critical developmental period.

This is a great product created by a mummy for mummies. It is a product full of careful thought and love, created by someone who really know what mummies and babies need.
