Frequently asked questions

• How much weight is on the Zen Neo?

  The Zen Neo™ Cuddle Pad™ flap weighs just 90 grams, which is evenly distributed into 6 equal zones to keep it from collecting in one area. Like all our products, the Zen Neo is designed in accordance with American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) physiotherapy standards and Guidelines for Safe Sleep, which recommends a weight-to-body ratio of 1:10. Unlike all-weighted sleepwear or weighted blankets which the AAP has deemed unsafe for infants, the Zen Neo is weighted only across the chest, and calibrated to mimic a parent’s gentle embrace. So babies fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer and wake happier.

• How does the womblike pod help my baby?

  Swaddling has been proven to help infants sleep longer and more peacefully, because it mimics the security of the womb, and prevents wakeups due to startle reflex. The ergonomic shape of the Zen Neo takes that to the next level, with a stretchy but snug material that hugs your baby while allowing for natural, womb-like movement—creating the best possible womb-to-world transition. What’s more, the Zen Neo’s 2-way zipper allows for diaper changes without waking your baby.

• When should I transition my baby out of a swaddle?

  Once your baby starts showing signs of rolling over, it's time to move from a swaddle to a sleep sack. For a seamless transition, we suggest upgrading to our gently weighted Zen Sack™ for a seamless transition.
