Zaky: Hands Off Attachment Parenting

Do you like the idea of attachment parenting, but find yourself exhausted by lugging your baby around all the time? This new product, Zaky, may be just what you're looking for. The Zaky was developed for the following reasons:

The need to bond parents with the babies when they cannot be together.

The resourcefulness of the nurses as they rolled towels, used stuffed animals and improvised other items to provide babies with boundaries, comfort, a sense of security and support when they are not held or touched.

The knowledge that hands help babies — it can be seen in the monitors - and that leaving the scent with the baby gives reassurance, a sense of protection and comfort.

The need to provide the babies with something familiar and constant.

You can place the Zaky around your neck to give it your scent. You can toss it in the dryer for a few minutes to warm it up. And best of all, its machine washable for cleaning up those inevitable accidents! This is a great baby shower gift — one of those things that new mothers won't even know that they want.
