The Zaky\u00ae was developed by Yamile C. Jackson, PhD PE in Ergonomics and Human Factors Engineering. Yamile developed the Zaky\u00ae in 2001 for her son when she had to go home without him for 5 months because he was prematurely born weighing less than 2 lbs.<\/p>\n

By simulating the weight, shape, size, scent, and touch of your hand, the Zaky\u00ae offers boundaries, a soothing continual gentle pressure, and a subtle support to your baby’s body. It can be scented with your own scent, it is very soft, fully washable, as well as ergonomically designed to provide company, support, and a sense of protection to your baby facilitating bonding even when you are away.<\/p>\n

Success Through Play\u2122 comments:<\/span><\/p>\n

The Zaky\u00ae is well designed quality product, which was developed by an Engineer mom who holds a PhD in Ergonomics and Human Factors Engineering. We were impressed to find out that the Zaky\u00ae is free of harmful chemicals, making it the ideal choice for babies who are sensitive to chemicals. The Zaky\u00ae has many features which make it versatile. It is used successfully with Premature Infants in the NICU, with healthy full term infants and with children and adults.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The soft Zaky\u00ae can be scented with moms smell and used to comfort and soothe infants, helping to make the transition from womb to world a little easier. When positioned correctly, the Zaky\u00ae provides babies with wonderful proprioceptive and tactile input, similiar to that of swaddling, which in turn helps to calm a baby. The Zaky\u00ae promotes a sense of security and may help to calm fussy babies.<\/p>\n

We distributed a left and right Zaky\u00ae to parents, Alan and Sheri who had recently welcomed their first baby, Eden who was born healthy and full term. They were delighted to be introduced to the Zaky\u00ae and were excited to learn how to use it optimally. We recommended to mom that she sleep with the Zaky\u00ae to scent it.<\/span><\/a> Next we demonstrated several ways to use the Zaky\u00ae<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eden was experiencing some difficulty falling asleep and Sheri was keen to see if using the Zaky\u00ae would help. Please note that the Zaky\u00ae must never be placed near a baby’s face and if used in a crib, must be used for a limited time, with constant supervision and removed when baby is asleep. Premature infants in the NICU do sleep with the Zaky\u00ae which helps to position them and provides a comforting touch, however their vital signs are monitored constantly. Talk with your baby’s doctor to see if the Zaky\u00ae can be used with your preemie in the NICU.<\/p>\n

Alan and Sheri positioned the Zaky\u00ae in Eden’s crib so that it was away from her face and resting gently on her body. “Eden really loved having the soft Zaky\u00ae rest on her body and it helped her fall asleep more easily, at which time we removed it.<\/p>\n

Alan and Sheri used the Zaky’s\u00ae to support Eden’s posture when she was in her carseat, bouncer and swing, which they found to be an invaluable feature of the Zaky\u00ae. “Before the Zaky\u00ae, we tried several different products on the market to help position Eden in her car seat etc, without any success. She would routinely end up lopsided! The Zaky\u00ae on the other hand gets the job done and we love how well it supports Eden’s body and in addition, holds my scent which helps to keep her calm.”<\/p>\n

Alan and Sheri found the Zaky\u00ae to be helpful when giving Eden her nightly baby massage. “We would highly recommend this versatile product to all new parents” stated Alan and Sheri.<\/p>\n
