The nurtureOne™ Weighted Soother can be placed on your baby to encourage him or her to calm and fall asleep. These are designed to provide deep touch input and prevent sleep disruption when an unexpected sound or movement causes a shock reflex (such as a startle / Moro). They also provide additional deep pressure input for those babies that require more proprioception to settle, calm and sleep. The nurtureOne™ weighted soother can be used in conjunction with the nurtureOne™ nesting cushion, to provide additional sensory input.
Our soothers are filled with micro-glass beads that resemble white sand or salt crystals in appearance. These glass beads are perfectly smooth, hypo-allergic, non-toxic, odourless, and environmentally friendly.
